Silently we drifted over the Bagan plain in the soft dawn light. The sun had crested the eastern horizon and the hot-air balloon lazily floated on morning thermals. Temples dot the vast plain that stretches between the Irrawaddy river and furrowed hills to the west. Sunlight catches the gold leaf of pagoda spires and, as the land warms, moisture is burned off, rising in plumes of mist that hang in the tree-lines. Villagers scurry about on foot and bicycle. Others are tethered to water-buffalo that pull carts or plows, the day’s labors already begun. This is an idyllic view from an idyllic viewpoint and from a time seemingly long, long ago.

Equipment: Canon EOS 20D

After wandering for the past 15 years, I now call New York City “home”.Born in England, raised in Bermuda and educated in America, I have spent the last 12 years clutching both camera and passport. Although trained as a lawyer, with an Honors B.A. from the University of Florida and a J.D. from the University of Miami School of Law, photography and travel remain my inspiration. There are few things that offer such experiences and it is through the viewfinder of a 35mm and digital SLR that I have seen much of the world. From spectacular sunsets in the Sahara to the advent of dawn over the Indian Ganges to Rajasthani bar-room brawls, my camera has fueled my vision-quest. Photography has made of me a more earnest traveler. Through it, I have learned patience, humility and compassion. These virtues, I seek to convey through my work.
My work has been displayed in San Francisco, New Orleans, Miami, London and New York. For image sales or professional assignment, please contact my studio at 917.573.4311 or email steven@stevengreaves.com.

The Alps is the name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. The word “Alps” was taken via French from Latin Alpes (meaning “the Alps”), which may be influenced by the Latin words albus (white) or altus (high) or more likely a Latin rendering of a Celtic or Ligurian original.
The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc, at 4,808 metres (15,774 ft), on the Italian-French border. All the main peaks of the Alps can be found in the list of mountains of the Alps and list of Alpine peaks by prominence.
