August started with a call from a photo editor at the NYTimes. She needed some architectural photos of a home in Polson, MT for their section " What You Get." It was my first assignment for the NYTimes and to be honest was a thrill to have a credit line in the NYtimes.

Then I was off to Butte MT. to take a senior portrait of Lew Yong. If you have never been to Butte it is worth a trip, historically and visually. Photographing Lew Yong was a visual treat. She and her father, Butch gave me tour which fueled my creative spark.

After getting back I was off to photograph Jenny and John's

wedding at the Ranch Club. It was a fun wedding in which most of the guests were from either New York or California. The Ranch club, thanks to Heidi, created a great wedding venue. Great people, great food, great venue and great music.

A week later some R&R with the family. We spent many days at Lake Como, where I took the photo on the top of this newsletter.

While I was away I got a call from a new client, CrevinAMD, about working on an Ad campaign for Gateway Community Credit Union.

We shot it in two days.

Coming up is a senior portrait of Katie for Sentinal HS in Missoula. A shoot for an L.A. producer "Box of Flies" to photograph the crew of Mintage for a Reality Show.Fashion Catalog shoot for Neesha Fashion.

There are a few other jobs I have bid on which I hope come through so I can tell you about them in the next newsletter.

We will feature the winner of the 2010-12 Vintage Pinup Pageant winner in the next newsletter.

Thank your your support,

Steven

Dear Readers,

September, phew!!!! as I write this it is 86 degrees, smokey and sunny.

A lot has happened since the last newsletter; a senior portrait in Butte; a wedding at the Ranch Club; an assignment for the New York Times; Christy Kristal Pinup Shoot; an advertising shoot for a new Missoula client, and a shoot for an LA producer, a fashion catalog coming up and a move.

Starting with the last item, the move. After supporting a studio for three years I have come to the conclusion, since 98% of my work is on location, it is wiser to save the rent money. It was a great adventure and the space enabled me to produce creative projects and meet wonderful people. It is time to move on. So there is no confusion I will continue take on all assignments and will have access to a rental studio.

If you are not busy the end of September feel free to help me move some stuff. :)

Vintage Pinup Calander2

The 2012 pinup calendar has become the 2013 pinup calendar, too complicated to explain. The new go-to person is Steve Robertson, a very talented ad man and bagpiper, shoot him an e-mail if you are interested in purchasing a month.

The very talented and award winning designer, Marlene of Hutchings Freerange Creative is designing the calendar. I am very excited to have them on board.

Still waiting to hear back from my publisher about the title and cover of my next book, hopefully I will have that in the next newsletter. NewsFlash: My book

" 50 Lighting Setups for the Portrait Photographers, Volume 2" is due out in June 2012. There is a cover but we are keeping it under wraps for a couple of months.

All and all, it was a good summer, no sting bites, bear attacks or sunburn. The family went flying, boating, swimming, camping and I built my first fence (with the help of a pro). Good fences make good neighbors.

Thanks for your interest and continued support, signature
