Fit 2 Race : Some of the shots for one of Steve's sponsors, Fit 2 Race wetsuits. Steve wanted to create the sense of a water relationship between his wetsuit and the salmon. From an urban perspective with the wall murals in a school yard and in nature with them spawning new life. With the exception of 2 photos with Steve in the creek where there were no fish, the others are an illusion of Steve being in the water with the spawning salmon. Steve never actually disturbed the salmon or entered their spawning habitat.

Modifying the Bike : First it was trying to get his new chair onto a toboggan to drag it up a mountainside to his walk in only home. This time the triathlete has a broken foot. So he takes a break right? NOT, again! Screw the arthritis, now he gets his bike specifically modified so he can pedal with a cast! Here are a few shots of one of his sponsors "Boomtown Sports Emporium" modifying and tuning his bike. Happy day!

Just another Day : So you're a triathlete, with arthritic pain everywhere but your nose and you get a new chair. You call delivery, right? Not! Steve lives a simple private life deep in the forest atop a Kootenay mountain overlooking the river below. No delivery. He puts his supplies, this time a new chair, carefully chosen to sooth his arthritic skeleton onto a toboggan for a trip up his steep 1.5km long driveway that rises over 150meters through the snow. Just another day. Life is good!!
