Life is not the amount of breaths you take, it's the moments that take your breath away

About Me

First things first, I really am a doctor, hence the Dr. Steve thing. It's pretty funny how many people think that is just a nickname but no, it's real. Best response I ever got when someone found out it was real was, "I thought people called you Dr. Steve because you like checking out the ladies." Thank you Shanghai Pearl for that. I love it.So the office up in Northgate is now starting to pick up speed, things are still in transition and there is alot of work still to do but it's really starting to take shape. So if you yourself or you know of anyone that could use my assistance just drop me a line and I will be happy to see if I can help.What started as just a small hobby has developed into something that is pretty amazing. The photography that I have had the opportunity to do this past while has been really exciting. I have stepped back from shooting alot of the burlesque shows to focus more on doing shoots with models. The shows have been a great experience and a wonderful learning tool for me to really develop my skill sets. But unfortunately I started to find that I was running out of time to be able to get the cd's of pictures to all of the people who needed them in a timely manner. I am still shooting the occasional show and am happy to shoot a show at request by the producer or a performer. So if you would like me to shoot a show for you feel free to ask and I will be happy to come out.As far as the models that I have worked with, there have been some really cool projects that I have gotten to do with Go Go Amy, The Shanghai Pearl, Becca and many others. I have posted some examples of those shoots in my blog section but most are found on the various models pages as well as various websites around. It's really great to get to see my work popping up all over the place. You can even buy a few of the pictures I have done at www.GoGoAmy.com (Thanks Amy for all your help)I have been working through many requests to do shoots over these last few months and am always happy to get more. It's alot of fun to sit down with a model and figure out what she needs and what direction to go with her to get the best possible pictures.If you are interested in doing a shoot with me, don't hesitate to drop me a line and I would be happy to discuss it with you.

My Interests

For the most part, it's basically been burlesque, pin up and photography and combinations of those.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone involved in the burlesque or pin up scene. Since I have started doing photography, I have had the opportunity tto photograph many amazing performers. I look forward to the opportunity to work with many more. So bacically I would like to meet anyone interested or involved in the burlesque scene or that can help me learn more about photography. It's a fun and crazy world, wanna come out and play in it?One of my newest and coolest galleries yet don't you think????

Music:

When it comes to music I tend to listen to pretty much everything but not anything. Especially since I have a long commute right now I am consently going through my cd collection playing things I haven't for years. It's amazing some of the things we find and dig out of the pile. Some are great and others I try to remember why I got it. Music is very much like a memory for me. Certain songs play and I remember a time or a place or a special someone. Things and people I haven't thought of in years. Every now and then it's good to look back.

Movies:

My friends often view my house like I am a video store. I have about as many movies but a better and cooler selection. I have an odd fixation with strange b and c quality movies from the 50's, 60's and 70's. Just anything that is a bit different and out there.

Television:

I don't have cable or even bunny ears on my tv. Though I keep thinking about putting some fluffy ones on there just because. The only thing that goes to it are a dvd player and an xbox 360. Everynow I have a fixation on dvd boxsets of tv series. Something about being able to watch an entire season in a weekend if needed is a nice thing.

Books:

I have read many in my life and still keep reading. A few of my favorite authors include Vonnegut, Copeland, Kerouac, Ellis and so many more. I usually end up reading between 3 and 5 books at a time. Not real sure how I keep track of them and not really sure if I actually do. Lately been reading alot of photo mags trying to figure out this new hobby of mine.

Heroes:

Leonard Cohen - no matter how old that guy gets he still always get the girl.
You're Lingerie Bettie...look at you, you sexy

depressed deep down. maybe you've been caught
a few times posing in front of that mirror of
