About Map Tales

---

Dear Guest,

My journey as a photographer began in earnest in 2007 after a solo, long-distance bicycling expedition; my film accidentally got exposed and I lost all my photos. I bought a digital camera and never looked back. I wandered around the continent in my spare time over the next five years, capturing the majesty and mystery of our land, and participated as a photography vendor in several juried art festivals throughout New York and Ontario. 

In 2012, I bought a one-way ticket to Iceland, and disappeared around the world for another five years.

A relatively recent transplant to Arizona, I feel blessed to live in such a place of striking natural wonder. Its energy has catalyzed my decision to bring back all of those bizarre travels, those raw and harrowing experiences, those sublime scenes, and those curious compositions from an array of Earthly coordinates—frozen and preserved as mere moments in time—into the public eye once again.

Thank you for taking the time to browse the site! 

Regards,

Steve
