SugarbearSteve's photostream
|
I'm Very Happily married with 2 children and Tiger my Doggie...
I use a canon S3 is which I think is a wonderfull deal for the money. I also use the 1.5X telextender and a cheap fish eye lens.

I'm just learning my new Canon Rebel XSI DSLR, any and all comments and suggestions welcome.
I've got the 18-55mm is kit lens.
The 100-400 IS L lens is riding in a UPS truck coming to live in my house soon.

"What's not to love about this Sugarbear?
His amazing photographic skill across varied subject matter?
The way he is always able to get the perfect angle on an animal in some kind of interesting position?
His stylish camo tent?
His witty tags, titles and descriptions?
His knee-slappingly hilarious comments?
His dashing, albeit hairy and gorilla-like good looks?
I love all of the above and more about Steve. He's a talented, funny, kind member of this flickr community.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful work."5th September, 2009

"Steve has got to be the most interesting guy on flickr. Always a fun surprise every day on his wonderful stream of photography. Best known for his incredible macro shots, especially bee butts. :-))) Never a dull moment, always beautiful photography, always a great sense of humor! If you haven't seen his pics, it's time you do. Be sure and have the mouse ready for the fave button. Oh - and be sure to ALWAYS read the tags!
You are one of my most charming friends, dear Steve! I can always count on you for your wit and wisdom, and awesome photography! A pleasure to see you almost daily for java and donuts. Thank you for being such a great friend! Merci Beaucoup! xoxox"12th August, 2007

"Sugarbear Steve - what can one say? The initial draw was obviously his darkly handsome (although frankly rather hairy) good looks. His sense of humour (sorry, humor) is wonderfully uplifting, and his photos - a constant source of delight, endlessly funny and brilliantly crafted. Thank you , oh furry one, for your friendship, your supportive comments, your humour and , last but not least, your wonderful photostream.
It has been a pleasure getting to know you."12th March, 2007

"I originally contacted Steve by Flickr-mail, thinking he might be a long-lost Mac maven, but no, he's just one of the most fun photographers on Flickr, combining fine skills that he seems to be improving every day, with a wonderful sense of humor that he shares in his many comments throughout Flickr. Like me, he finds wonders in the flowers and critters in his beautiful back yard and I trust gets the same joy in sharing them as I do. I'm delighted to have met him and to be enjoying his marvelous photos, and look forward to some photostrolls soon. What's also cool is that he started Flickr exactly one year after I did, to the day, so we share a Flickrversary."

wish u were here (off contemplating life) says:
"What a great great Flickr friend. I love the fact that Steve makes me smile all the time.....even when I'm having a not so good day. I LOVE his photos. His birds and garden shots are amazing.(Not so secretly jealous sometimes they are so great!) I love that he is now doing portraits and he certainly has a way with capturing the innocence of a small child. I am so happy I met him early on in Flickr as his sense of humor keeps me smiling and his photos TOUCH my heart

"sugarbearsteve has become a great flickr friend..i love his humor and how i can always expect to smile when i read his comments..which are both inspiring and encouraging..
his photos are extremely good..i have literally wept over some of them..just because they speak so loud..ideas..in depth..in color..the subject..his flowers..birds..insects..(i now will never kill one ever) he captures each one with tender care..and he definately puts a lot of thought into each photo..i feel tenderness in his work..

"Sugarbear Steve has been a constant flickr friend from the moment I met him. I enjoy is willingness to communicate not only through comments but via flickr e-mail, we have a mavelous time! He is always encouraging and constantly setting the bar higher and higher to achieve photo's that knock your socks off. He doesn't let up! Now with his new camera, I shutter to think of the challanges that lay ahead! FUNNY funny guy, great to have on my side, wonderful that he has gotten to know my sisters as well! Steve really lives up to his name Sugarbear!
