Lucky & Me

Lucky & Me by Christian Stepien.com

I made this image of the late Lucky Stepien back in December of 2007. I had originally thought that this was shot in the living room of my Mom's house, but upon looking at a close up of Lucky's eye, I noticed the backyard covered in snow. She must have been sitting by the back door (like she always did) looking for squirrels.

Seagull At Nathan Phillip Square

Seagull At Nathan Phillip Square by Christian Stepien.com

Until recently, I've kept my iPhone photography on a separate blog, but seeing as how I use my iPhone a lot and have been getting some really cool photographs out of it, I decided that I'll post them on this blog along my more "serious" work. I made this image yesterday in Toronto.

Here's a reworking of an image I made back in November of 2006. The horse in the foreground is "Payday Pleasure", the only gray horse at this particular stable. I miss, Pay. I think she moved.

Poofy Pigeon

Poofy Pigeon by Christian Stepien.com

This guy hung out with Marina and I for a bit while we chilled at Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto.

On a side note, I'll be heading up north for the weekend, so I won't be posting any photos for a few days...except, of course, on Twitter, where I indulge in the photographic adventure that is Instagram. If you're not following me on Twitter yet, do it! Say "hi!".

I dunno...it just looks like he's about to get down on his knees and worship the being that's been dropping peanuts everywhere.

Linehan, No. 1: What's That?

Linehan, No. 1: What's That? by Christian Stepien.com

I got a call from my Mom the other day that a new chipmunk was hanging out in her backyard. I took a camera over yesterday, and made a series of shots that you'll see over the next few posts. His name is "Linehan", because he has a fur line on top of his head.
