Howdy from Louisiana! - 09-03-2009, 09:43 AM


Hi, my name is Steve. I live and work in Lake Charles, Louisiana, but I am a Texan at heart. One day I will live in the Texas Hill Country! Anyway, I am married (this November will be 19 years). We have three beautiful daughters. Our oldest is in her second week of classes at LSU - that would be where the CURRENT NATIONAL CHAMPION LSU TIGER BASEBALL TEAM is! Oh, and I almost forgot... the 2007 BCS NATIONAL CHAMPION LSU FOOTBALL TEAM, that destroyed Ohio State 38-24... but who's keeping score?

Seriously, about photography... I am a serious amateur photographer - fascinated with all things photography. I have been that way since about 1979, when my parents bought me a Canon AE-1. I love photographing people, especially people playing sports. I have become obsessed with capturing the intensity as well as the beauty of the game - whatever game it happens to be. Soccer is the sport du jour, since my daughters all play it.

I am trying to obtain press credentials so that I can get on the sidelines for some football games this fall. I would love to be a semi-pro photographer, for the experience and a little extra income - I have a good day job that I'm not quite ready to give up.

Anyway, I'm glad to have stumbled upon this Forum. Looking forward to hanging out with you Texans!

Thanks Michael. Great quote - and so true! By the way, I'm heading to Gulf Shores, AL this weekend with the family. Planning on doing some beach shots. Hope to have something interesting to post on Tuesday. Have a GREAT weekend.

Steve, Steve, Steve..... why on earth would you want to move to the Hill Country. They aint got no crawfish ponds, boudin stores, or cracklin pots in the Hill Country. Trust me, I know, I'm from Vermilion Parish, and I miss it every time I go home.
