I'm a mediocre amateur photographer and professional credit risk.

I welcome comments on my pictures, but you can stuff your crop suggestions up your arse. Thank you.

I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be nice and have fun in the sun

    "Years go at boarding school Stevie convinced me that it would be a fine idea to hide a badger in the Headmaster's croquet closet. Despite losing an eye, I think it was the most splendid moment of my boyhood, and I don't blame Stevie at all for not being able to attend the Expulsion Committee meeting. A football match indeed takes precedence over such trivial matters. Nor do I blame him for the collapse of my first marriage. If it hadn't been him it just would have been some other bloke, and I'm thankful that he exposed Claudette as the slattern she was. He's a good egg, Stevie is, and if he borrows a tenner from time to time and forgets to pay me back, it's only because he needs to buy more film."

    "Hi Stevie-B

    Just a quick line to let you know how I am getting on with the memory foam mattress I ordered from Bedworld. In my case it has definitely been a worthwhile investment as I now get a more comfortable night's sleep and don't wake up with the early morning stiffness that is so familiar to arthritis sufferers. I'm sure that the fact that the mattress retains/increases ones body heat plays a big part in ensuring that I'm not in so much pain when I wake up and have no I hesitation in recommending memory foam mattresses and pillows to arthritis sufferers.

    Thanks again for all your assistance and advice in helping me decide which mattress to order.

    Best wishes

    xooorx"

    Whether this rumour is true or not, well time only will tell - but in the interim we all better just enjoy his wit and photographic skills. Both of which are surpassed. Somewhere."

    "Behold the duck.
    It does not cluck.
    A cluck it lacks.
    It quacks.
    It is specially fond
    Of a puddle or pond.
    When it dines or sups,
    It bottoms ups.

    Stevie is a pleasant fellow with a keen eye."

    Date: 2007-07-16, 10:58PM MDT

    Made from animal free glacial water. We used this for my sister wives wedding last week and it is barely showing signs of melting. Perfect for a retirement party, or just make snow cones with this bad creation. I also have half of a wedding cake that I will through in.
    Cheers!

    "Stevie-B has shown a keen sense both of photography and as part of the shared dictatorship that is currently ruling the DMU. Although it is nearly certain that Dshalock's libertarian crusade will eventually replace the current regime and usher in an age of anarchy, Stevie-B is doing a good job holding things together until then."

Stevie has an unquestionable ability to communicate with ducks and that's why all his duck pictures are such GREAT CAPTURES!"

    "The quintessential post-eccentric Englishman, Stevie-B's subtly neo-shamanic approach to photography and banter never fails to instill a quiet confidence in me that the ghouls and hobgoblins of modern life are still not winning outright. I am eternally grateful that he taught me how to drink Jaegermeister backwards whilst typing with my ankles."

    "Stevie B has (as they say) an excellent eye. His portraiture is thoughtful, his landscapes beautifully composed.

    Have a look through his stream and you will see classic shot after classic shot - I love "Babe", "Gab", "That's your mum, that is", and most of all the two Suki shots "1990" and "2004".

    Then there is the matter of his obsession - easy to gloss over, but perhaps I could suggest that in this, his duckwork, he manfully ploughs on with an admirable singlemindedness, a pursuit of a vision of the Anatidae that whilst most of us cannot share, we can at least appreciate."
