Steve has been a serious photographer since he was eleven years old. He has the distinction of having once been the youngest member of the Norfolk Photography Club, an organization now sixty years old. He wasn't a founding member, though. Steve's academic work was at Georgia Tech and Johns Hopkins, and he has been faculty member at the Naval Academy, Georgia Tech, and the University of Maryland University College, as well as research mathematician at Sandia National Laboratories. He also has done diplomatic work related to nuclear nonproliferation. Through all of this, Steve has been an active photographer. His travels in Western Europe, Russia, Asia, and Africa have given him ample opportunity to photograph in a variety of settings and in often interesting weather. In those places, rather than seeing as a tourist, he has concentrated on work that gives a feel of being inside the culture. His faithful Nikon cameras have failed him but once, unfortunately on a bicycle trip in Ireland. A favorite camera in his early work was a 4x5 Speed Graphic, and he still uses the Rolleiflex he bought with earnings from photographing sweet sixteen parties when he was a high school student. In addition to photography, Steve has worked in charcoal and oil on canvas. Steve's recent foreign trips have been to Cyprus, Israel, Mali, and Baltimore. However and even with an intense interest in photojournalism, he finds and encourages others to find a wealth of subjects to photograph close to home. In addition to teaching and photography, Steve is an enthusiastic cook and a widely published writer. He's also the author of this website.
