A Journey Through Lenses and Lathe

For two decades, Steven has danced between the realms of captured moments and crafted creations, painting his life's canvas with the hues of photography and woodworking.

His artistic voyage commenced amidst the pulsating energy of concert venues and the poised elegance of real estate vistas. With a lens as his brush, he painted visual symphonies, encapsulating the essence of live performances and the soul of architectural marvels. Twenty years of honing his craft allowed Steven to capture not just images, but stories frozen in time.

Yet, the allure of a new horizon beckoned. Venturing into the intricate world of woodworking, he found solace in the tactile embrace of a lathe. There, he learned the ancient art of coaxing life from raw wood—morphing it into bowls, pens, and myriad items, each infused with his artistic touch. Steven's creativity flourished as he ventured into crafting unique outdoor furnishings, breathing life into distinct wood types seldom seen.

Driven by a fervent passion for sustainability and preservation, Steven embarked on a quest for ethically sourced rare and exotic woods. From the verdant corners of the Pacific Northwest to far-flung corners of the globe, he sought these treasures, cherishing their individual stories and embracing their natural beauty.

Even as he carved his legacy through the lens of a camera, Steven's journey never ceased. He tirelessly explored new mediums, pushing the boundaries of his creativity beyond the confines of the camera. Continuously innovating, he sought novel ways to weave tales and express his artistic soul.

Steven's biography is a testament to an artist unbounded by the limits of a single medium—a narrative of relentless exploration, where the story is etched not just in pixels but in the grains of wood and the boundless expanse of creative expression. Through lenses and lathe, his journey unfolds, an ever-evolving saga of passion, craftsmanship, and the pursuit of artistic transcendence.
