Would like to apologize to those that have faved my work or sent my messages or have placed me in their watch list and I have not responded...I am very far behind in everything DA and I am not sure I can catch up...I ask for your patience and eventually I will answer you...I appreciate your kindness and hope you will understand that I cannot answer everyone as quickly as they would like and thank those who do...Steven

Didn't expect friends from 2 former states that I lived in to come visiting for Thanksgiving...it's a very wonderful surprise for me...so I will most probably not be on DA very often because I doubt I'll be around till possibly late this week...I'm going to upload one photo before I close down for awhile...hope you all like it...Hope your Thanksgiving was a good one...bye for now...

As many of you know since the passing of my good friend in August I haven't gone on any photoshoot's but on friday 11/11/11 I decided to just go out and see if I could get back some of the magic I felt I had lost...found some new places which was exciting...will put up some work over the next few days...

Due to another glitch in the DA program I am unable to reply to any messages...comments...or favs because a little window pops up saying that the program thinks I'm sending spam...this is the second time this week that this has happened...if you have written to me know that I will respond whenever DA fixes this annoying problem and thank you all for your responses...I also would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas...be safe my friends...

I may not be on DA as often as usual for the next 2 to 3 days due to a slight injury while helping my friend clean the gutters of leaves and other debris...I won't go into a lot of detail on that but suffice to say I hurt my back a bit and it's painful to even sit in front of the computer and do what I am doing now...I will try to answer comments and messages and favs when and if possible but ask everyone to please be patient...thank you for your understanding...Steven

Well it's back up in the lower to middle 90's here again and it's expected to be like that till at least tuesday...so I probably won't be on until late at night...for those of you who don't already know my computer is in the back bedroom and there is no air conditioning which makes it like working in an oven...not fun I can assure everyone...my friends I will once again be late but I think everybody has sort of gotten use to that from me of late...looking forward to working on DA later tonight...Steven

It's around 95 degrees here and while the humidity is low it's still hot...my computer is set in my bedroom where there is no air conditioning...the way the windows were made it would take a lot of work to put in an air conditioner...anyway I won't be able to use my computer until later tonight as it cools down...just want everyone to know that I'm not ignoring or forgetting anyone but replies will take a bit longer until we get back to a bit cooler temps...thanks for understanding...Steven

It feels like I've been away from DA forever but it's closer to a week...I am recovering from a very nasty viral infection and while I was on DA for a short time tonight I am not at all sure when I'll be completely back...I will make an effort to answer comments and messages just as soon as I can...would like to thank those who wrote to me wishing me well and I'd like to say thank you very much for caring...Steven

Just wanted to let anyone who follows my work that I'll not be on DA for a couple of days, maybe longer. I'm not feeling too well and haven't been for the past few days so I may have to go and see a doctor which isn't my most favorite thing to do. I will get to answering all of the favs and comments and messages just as soon as I am able. Hope everyone understands...Thanks...Steven

This past weekend the weather was dry up here in Oregon so I went for a drive in the rural sections not too far from home. I only shot 1 roll of 36 because I'm running low on film...anyway I'm driving on a private road and on the right side of the road is a country house and two very large animal pens...in one pen is a small donkey (nothing to get too excited about right) but in the other animal pen were three...count them three camels (they had one hump...I used to know what one hump versus two hump camels were called but it's been a very long time since high school)...it isn't every day that you see camels in someones backyard...I plan on my next outing to ask the owner if I might take some shots of their camels...just thought I'd share my strange moment in time in Oregon...

The weather here in Oregon has been extremely bad, with temperatures reaching 107 yesterday and 106 the day before...and my computer room isn't air conditioned so I haven't done a thing on my computer or DA for quite a few days...look forward to getting back online tomorrow...

Got here to Salem, Oregon on friday the 1st of May, however although I have my computer set up I am still unloading my van and unpacking and putting my stuff wherever it can fit...not sure when I will be able to get back to putting my work on DA...although I am tempted to seek out some places I've seen that might be some good sites for shots...I will try to have new work online as soon as I am settled in....thank you...Steven

Just thought I'd let everyone know that I will be moving from my present home in southern Indiana to Oregon at the end of this month so I will be out of contact for at least a week maybe less, depends on the situation. And unfortunately I probably won't be putting up very much of my work on my gallery due to time constraints. Wish me luck. Thanks. Steven
