Baile en Burque

June 16th, 2010 by Steven St John




I had a change to check out the swing dancing at Height Community Center with my new friends Brian and Marisa, who are regulars at the Tuesday night event and avid dancers. They are the couple still dancing after the music had stopped in the last picture, and I love the way Marisa looks at Brian. It’s the look of true love.

My friend Craig Fritz shot an incredible Seeing page on this a few years back at the Trib, and these images don’t even come close to his work from it, but it was fun to check out for myself.

Anne + Lieb = Rhys

June 8th, 2010 by Steven St John


Anne + Lieb = Rhys – Images by Steven St. John

My friends Anne and Lieb got married last year and welcomed their son Rhys in December. They had a party last weekend to celebrate and asked me to document the fiesta for them.

Today (June 8th) Rhys (the baby happily being handed about and adored in these picture) is having surgery to repair one of his kidneys. He is going to be just fine, but do me a favor and say a prayer for him if that is your thing or just send him good thoughts. (UPDATE: Rhys is out of the hospital and doing just fine) He is without a doubt the coolest babies I have ever met, must be a Sagittarius thing.

Of all the  titles I hold, I’m probably most proud to be called an uncle. That is why I and the rest of my family are so excited for the arrival of my newest niece in the coming weeks. Stay tuned everyone, much more to come.

From the archive: Memorial Display

May 31st, 2010 by Steven St John

Local herosThis being Memorial Day, I thought I’d share the PDF version from this day in 2007. This was without question, the biggest and best play I ever got for a photo I’d taken at the Trib, and that is saying something, because gave lots of space to good photography. Six columns above fully about the fold just doesn’t happen in newspapers, and to my knowledge, it only happened once during my years at the Trib, which is what made it such a powerful tribute to our local fallen heroes.

A digital tribute to film

May 28th, 2010 by Steven St John

I spent a day this week back in the darkroom getting ready for the Holga workshop I’m teaching with Roberto Rosales in July. I felt compelled to shoot some details around the darkroom with my 5D while we developed the film. If you are a digital photographer and never spent much time working in the glow of the red light, then you may not appreciate the images. If that is the case, you don’t know what you are missing, and you should really take the workshop.
