Steve's photography has taken him throughout North and South America from the woods of northern Canada to the salt marshes of southern Florida, from the coast of Maine to the high plateau of the desert southwest. He has made numerous trips to South America visiting such places as Ecuador, Belize, Costa Rica, and the Galapagos Islands. Although he travels extensively, he finds much of his inspiration in the natural areas surrounding his home, in Brighton, Michigan.
