  "Stephen is an amazingly talented photographer. His landscape and nature photography is awesome and inspiring. His seascape work is some of the best I have ever seen and his innate ability to see the shot he wants in his mind and nail it almost every time is astonishing. He knows light and has the technical know-how to mold it to his desire. I learn from him every time he posts a picture, but I have been lucky enough to shoot with him a few times and even help out on a few shoots with him and Hector. He is a great photographer and a good friend. Keep it up brotha!!"

  "What can I say about Stephen that has not been said......his work is amazing!!!!! He has an amazing eye for detail, color, composition, etc. He is a person that I have come to count on as a friend. Shooting with him is always fun, and we always walk away with at least 1 good shot! I am lucky to be able to call him a friend and I know there are many more things in store for both of us.....Keep your eyes open....we gonna take over OC!"

  "Wow - it's all I can say after seeing smgallery's photos. Inspiring, to say the least. EVERY time I go to the beach I always write down what shutter/aperture/exposure levels he used so I can (at least) attempt the perfect shot. His photo's are full of depth and color, and he never ceases to amaze me with every upload. He is definitely someone I look up to, and hope that one day I can be as good as he is!
  
  Thanks for sharing with us!"

  Extra Medium says:

  "I stole Stephen's Sigma lens cover for the direct and intentional purpose of attempting to contact intergalactic lifeforms to break his code of amazing landscape photos. His cover, rigged on top of a contraption engineered from electrical conduit, 3 hair brushes, a pack of marbles, the 14 of Spades (from a metric deck of cards), a metric ton of duck feathers, 1500 blue square Legos, a headshot of Mr. T and fastened by the leftover remains of Easter peeps circa 2001. I was only successful on my tenth attempt to contact alien lifeforms because the previous nine tries I forgot to activate the flux capacitor, and I was aimed over Canada. I decoded the message from the Cygnus X-1 galaxy to understand that Stephen's unique style and vividness of photos are a combination of skill, passion, patience, Maple & Brown Sugar oatmeal and some expensive filters. Plus, the Explore Donkey has him on speed dial asking for his advice.
  
  Stephen is a great guy, and hopefully after I get my communication device out of the county impound, I'll be able to return his lens hood. Hopefully it will bring me the same amount of luck it has brought him. And hope he doesn't mind a little extra peep residue on it."

  "If Steve's images don't catch your eye instantly, his personality sure will. Steve's image encompass everything from the simplistic beauty and happiness of his daughter and his love for her to the surreal and serene landscape images within his stream.
  
  Steve's recent set of coastal and surfing images are top notch and worthy of many photography awards. His eye, sense of composition, capturing of light and total enthusiasm for photography truly makes Flickr a better place to explore."

  "What I love most about Steve’s flickr collection is the diversity in his work. Steve beautifully captures everything from babies to beach sunsets, portraits to photojournalism, flowers to architecture, insects to surfers and much more. One can never get bored seeing Steve’s photostream. Not only does he have such range in his captures, his images are absolutely remarkable – diversity coupled with quality/professional images is a rare combination which Steve possesses and I for one am very impressed with the entire body of his work.
  
  So sit down, stay awhile – click through Steve’s various sets – I guarantee you’ll have a remarkable visit at Steve’s corner of the flickr world."
