We used to roam the woods together even under harsh conditions looking for interesting birds which we saw many. Greatly missed. Vaya con Dios.

I am heartbroken. Steven was my photography mentor. I am forever indebted to him. I will miss him terribly. I will miss our Friday afternoons together eating cheeseburgers and talking photography. Oh, Steven I will miss you so much.
