I am a world traveler who has never lived more than forty miles from my Seattle origins. In the past, I’ve been both a baby and a babysitter. Both a paperboy and a newspaper writer. Both a student and a teacher. Both a warehouse janitor and an office manager. Both a computer geek and a technophobe. I am still some these, from time to time. By day, I am a 20–something computer geek, arranging 1’s and 0’s into pleasing patterns. But the moments that make up my true life tend to be those when traveling, playing with my dog or, of course, taking photos. I am excited to find new worlds to capture, as well as finding new ways to capture the world we’re in. © 2006-2008 Steve Balo
