Welcome To NikonSniper

Welcome to NikonSniper! Thank you for coming!

It is a joy and blessing for me to keep chasing my perfect photo. I am always trying to improve my photography. Photography has really been the only constant hobby I have had for 39 years. I continue to try to photograph as much of life’s journey as possible ... and it has had its ups and downs! God has graciously allowed me to continue traveling the world to see His creative hands ... And it IS awesome!

I use Nikon cameras and lenses … however, I am not a Nikon snob. Great photographers use all kinds of cameras. I know some excellent photographic eyes using cell phones only!

Truthfully, photography is much more to me than a hobby. It has been awesome "get away from everything therapy" for me throughout my life. Photography has allowed me to escape and spend time in solitude, or with my wife ... or to have one-on-one time with close friends in order to see the wonders of creation.

I wish to record something in photography that will outlast me for my family and friends. It would be really cool if my great-great-great grandchildren could see the photos I have captured during my days … and just for a moment, see the world as it was through my eyes.

Thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement and support here on NikonSniper. I hope enjoy what you see on your visits here and are challenged and encouraged in new ways to dig out your camera and get clicking. God bless you all. NikonSniper Steve

Whoo-AHHH

Our daughter, Tara left home on Memorial Day 2010 and went to Combat Basic Training at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. She graduated on August 13th and shipped out to Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas to begin AIT Advanced Individual Training for 68 Whiskey (Army Combat Medic). Tara was part of Charlie Company, 232nd Medical Battalion and graduated from AIT on December 10. After a short stint at home Tara was stationed at Camp Casey in South Korea where she began her service to the country.

Update (5/25/2012)
Tara has now returned to the USA from a year in South Korea and is stationed at Fort Campbell, KY as part of the Charlie Company (Painkillers), 801st Brigade Support Battalion (Maintaineers), 4th Brigade Combat Team (Currahee), 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault).
I am not really sure what all that means but thanks to all of you who have prayed for our beloved Tara while she was overseas. We are very proud of her and deeply miss being close to her during her military service. We thank you for your continued prayers while she continues training and preparing for her next Rendevous With Destiny.

Update (6/28/2012)
Tara has been promoted to Specialist (SPC). She will be home for her 2 week summer break soon.

Update (12/22/2012)
Tara came home with her roommate Bree on Christmas break. They brought an insane number (nine) of German Shepherd dogs with them + a chi-huahh-huahh (rat dog) for a nice round total of ten dogs. This is nuts!
Luckily, nine shepherds are staying at a nearby farm so we only have one extra dog in the house.
Great to see them again and makes for a great family get together for Christmas. The more the merrier in Woodstock!

Update (05/12/2013)
Tara is now in the final days of the arrival of her first baby, a boy, baby Jaxon! I am kinda pulling for a D-Day, June 6 delivery but I know Tara won't last that long. We are trusting in the Lord for a safe arrival of Jaxon to the Baird family. The Baird boys have begun a comeback. Jaxon will be our 8th grandchild and 2nd grandson after following 6 beautiful grand-daughters.

To God be the GLORY

Hebrews 1:1-3
Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

Ecclesiastes 3:11
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.

1 John 4:8-10
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
