Caro Steve
ja dizia o grande poeta Brasileiro Lupicinio Rodrigues
“”O pensamento parece uma coisa à toa
mas como é que a gente voa quando começa a pensar
A minha casa fica lá de traz do mundo
Onde eu vou em um segundo quando começo a pensar.”"
Lindas fotos

Rich photos, full of emotion and compassion and wisdom. Absolutely sublime!

Steve, I am a huge fan of your work. The intimacy of the moments you capture really touch the heart and the technical aspect of your work is an inspiration to us all.
In your recent blog post, the photo you took of the Grand Canyon looks to have been taken at the very same location from which I took a similar photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cheap1/5235315718/

hermosas fotos como siempre!!

I am a big fan of your work, however the Burma images always trouble me – always. As a photojournalist do you ever consider the political situation in Burma? To be sure it is a beautiful country, but i think that your beautiful Burma images often soften the painful reality of Burma.
June 27, 2011 at 17:43
You are my inspiration!
June 27, 2011 at 17:18
just beautiful.
June 27, 2011 at 17:04
Your images always take my breath away…and I get lost within them. Thank you for capturing the beauty of life in all things and sharing it with all of us~ You are such a gift~
June 27, 2011 at 16:56
opening and closing shots are the most amazing!!
June 27, 2011 at 16:50
Steve your work is great ! Every time I see your photos I get inspired. Like I said earlier also that I think only you can present your story such a way. Same thought with the pictures from all around the world. Only you can do this ! I express my respect to you from the bottom of my heart !

Wonderful theme and photos set.
