I appreciate you stopping by to sample a bit of my world behind the camera. I have been very blessed to have had the opportunity to travel and see many great things. During those travels I took many common photos of a far away land that opened my eyes to the common things we see everyday here in the midwestern USA.
I decided that these local common things were very worthy of my photographic attention. I have deliberately sought to pay more attention to my surroundings. Many call that "stopping to smell the roses". I have found that to be good therapy.
This website records many strange events or happenings. It explores wild abstract color and different ways to view things. I have always enjoyed intense contrast in photography. To me, color splashed everywhere is great ... sometimes even enjoyable pushed to the bizarre with manipulation programs.
Interested in having something photographed? Send your inquiries to nikonsniperguy@aol.com. I just might hop in the car and get it done.
Thanks for coming. I enjoy your comments and hearing how a photo strikes you. All the best.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN HERE BUT HEAR THAT IT IS AN INCREDIBLE PLACE WITH THE DEEPEST BLUE COLORS IN THE LAKE. GREAT PHOTO
I found you as a new follower to my blog (thank you, hope I don't disappoint) and came here to see who you are. I am thrilled to meet you. Your photos are rich, well composed, colorful, sometimes quirky. Your post titles are descriptive and sometimes word play, something that always excites me. Love the title of your blog. And I'd say your machine gun approach hits something pretty often. I'll be back (quoting the guv, not MacArthur).
Wow! It's so magnificent... I was looking for the right word. I'm speechless!
I can't tell you how much I enjoy these travel photos. They are beautiful and evoke such wonderful memories of my own travels with my husband. Thanks for the memories.
Hi, found you by the way of way station one. Your profile brought tears to my eyes when you said that you hoped that your children and grand-children could "see through your eyes." What a great gift!
I'm a fellow sniper, too and can't wait to see more of your part of the world.
Greetings from Florida.
Absolutely spectacular Stephen.
Wonderful shot!
I noted you are a new follower of my blog. Thanks. This picture is beautifully composed and the colour is lovely. I have visited a few crater lakes and they always seem somewhat sinister in their beauty, as if they would suck me to the centre of the earth. Most are quite deep.
Wow. Great view and of course great picture.
Keep it up!
Your photos are such purveyors of beauty captured in the moment. They do indeed inspire the poetic in heart.
I, with appropriate credit and link, ask your permission to post your robin perched on a wood fence along with one of my poems on APOGEE Poet.
Thank you for such a delightful array!
Crater Lake is a gorgeous place. You have captured some remarkable images on your trip through the northwest!
