About PortugePunk / Steve Silvas

"I will give Steve not one, but two testimonials today. If you look up the meaning of “Testimonial” it gives two different ways for use of the word, The first one of them is a noun:
a written declaration certifying to a person's character, conduct, or qualifications, or to the value, excellence, etc., of a thing; a letter or written statement of recommendation
and the 2nd is an adjective:
something given or done as an expression of esteem, admiration, or gratitude
For the first one, I would like to say that Steve is one of the most creative persons I have ever met and is humble about being so talented. I work in the Marketing/Public Relations industry and have met many designers and “art directors” that have NOTHING compared to Steve’s talents. I used to work with Steve many years ago and it was a pleasure to work with him. Steve always gave his 110% when working on any given projects. His eye for photography is outstanding, he makes you see things differently than you would normally look at it. His captures always amaze me! I mean…who takes such intimate images of a gingerbread man?

For the 2nd testimonial, I would like to be more personal and say that Steve inspires me, in photography and creatively whether it is designing an idea for a new web site, t-shirt or any other creative projects I have buzzin in my head. He is always there when I need him and he deals with my rants and raves and tech support needs which are almost daily! ;-)
I have had the pleasure of having Steve in my life for about 7 years now and I am so happy we are friends."

"Steve, what can I say. The all time Photoshop and "Everything that looks good on the screen" wizard. Sometimes I miss Tech, you taught me so much there. (Don't miss NHCS much, wonder why? hmmm..) Or maybe it's that whole "Not having to depend on a job to pay your own rent and utilities" that i miss."
