Steven’s adventures shooting in the proposed Wild Sky Wilderness in the North Cascades became a miss-adventure when he fell in a ravine with a big pack in Mid August and tore a hamstring. Five weeks to heal and he is back on the trail. The Wild Sky shooting has yielded a number of beautiful images that have used by the Wilderness Society. The images were displayed at the Wilderness Society national governor’s conference at Sun Mountain Lodge in September. They were also press released by the Wilderness Society and used for a story in the Wall Street Journal written by Jim Carlton appearing on September 24th.
A print from the Wild Sky shoot has also been donated to the Washington Wilderness Coalition to help support their activities. We thank the Wilderness Society for their support of these activities.

The Gallery also donated a large print to the Seattle Men’s and Women’s chorus for their Just Art auction in September. We have supported this organization now for three years.

Steven and the Gallery were featured in the September/October issue of View Camera Magazine. Look for the magazine at Borders’ or Barnes and Nobel. We thank Steve Simmons the publisher, and Eric Biggerstaff, the writer, for their kindness in the preparation of this feature article.

In late August, we flew with pilot Jim Craig out of Seward Alaska (www.sewardair.com) in a Cessna for a tour of the ice fields, Resurrection Bay, and Prince William Sound. Steven made a partially successful attempt at hanging a Hasselblad Camera out of the airplane to make some images. Look for some of them soon on the website. Besides being a great pilot, Jim Craig is a novelist who published his first book “North to Disaster“. It’s a great read!
