Steve Goodyear's photostream  

I love adventures exploring new places, interesting scenes, and remarkable experiences; and I get such delight out of capturing these perfect moments and stimulating sights in a picture that conveys the feeling, the mood, the essence of the experience in a single frame.

It fuels my pleasure and my passion when I get to share these experiences with others so they too can experience what I experienced, see what I saw, and feel what I felt.

I gravitate more towards being a photo-purist rather than focusing on a lot of post-production; instead trying my best to do as much of the work in-camera. So it's rare for me to do any processing on my pictures beyond slight adjustments to the white balance. This is because I personally enjoy the process the most when I'm able to align my camera's eye with my mind's eye to take a pleasing photograph.

Lately, I've also developed an attraction to feed my cookery creativity (and appetite) finding new dishes to prepare that are delicious and exciting.

Some other things I tend to enjoy in life include:
* feeling the freedom of the road riding my motorcycle along the coast;
* being at one with powder snowboarding down a mountain;
* feeding my curiosity exploring a new and different town;
* letting my imagination wander appreciating someone's creativity;
* creating smiles and fun having beers or coffees with friends;
* getting lost in fantasy watching a movie or reading an intense book;
* exploring life by growing interesting plants in my garden and balcony;
* and reconnecting with nature and simple pleasures sitting around a camp fire while camping in the wilderness somewhere.

I have a travel journal where I write about and share some of my travel experiences:

I made some of my photos available for prints for anyone interested in having a print to hang and enjoy. I choose this service because they have good prices and do a great job with the prints:
