Steve Bissell’s “Fire”

By Steve Bissell

Fire in the Santa Barbara Channel

Last Winter I entered the “Pain Palace” to finally take care of a bad knee that begged for attention. Doctor Gainer and all his miracle worker bees did their magic, and I entered the last, very painfull recovery phase that should last about three months or more. The plan is to shoot pain free for the first time in years, and really enjoy this gift that God gave me, and to share with all of you all of the colorful discoveries my Nikkor crystal glass can toast to…let’s go see what’s happening out there friend…together…

Steve - Very good and classic - reminds me of your old pics. Especially the people-on-the beach shots - my favorites. Thanks for a fine show (perfect song too). Hope you are having a speedy recovery.

Steve:

It is always refreshing and heart-warming to see that your creative mind is still at work. Panama was a Eutopia and an inspiring place to grow up which I believe might have been the binding force behind what made you the professional you continue to be today. great work of beauty. I hope your recovery is quick and painless.

Thanks for continuing the dream.
