Student Union: Steven Spoto

Steven Spoto
Seffner Christian Academy
Seffner, Florida

Set Pieces
Although Seffner doesn’t offer formal photography classes, Steven, who is a senior at the school, added to his self-taught skills by joining the school’s photo club, which his father, Joe, instructs. “But what got me started in photography,” Steven says, “was the photography merit badge in Boy Scouts, which my dad also teaches.”

Steven’s been on the school’s yearbook staff for two years as a photographer and editor, and he’s won several first prizes in the Florida State Fair youth photography competition.

The documentary style and strong compositions that mark his black-and-white, toned, and muted-color photos attracted our attention. Steven says he’s definitely drawn to the carefully arranged, carefully thought-out image. “When I was first getting into photography…I saw the work of Ansel Adams, and he did a very good job of making sure that everything in his pictures was exactly the way he wanted it. I always thought that’s the kind of thing I want to try to imitate.

Submitted by aglaja on March 6, 2013 - 12:37pm.

Great interview with Mike! I noticed the conservative support shifts periodically. But this shift that the article is talking about, is out of the ordinary. Bush bases his electoral campaign on security issues, whilst this shouldn't be the main concern. There are far more deficient sectors that the US needs to take care of. You must search in all treatment centers.

This kind of design and style is actually spectacular! You obviously learn how to have a very viewer amused. Between sense of humor along with your videos, I used to be practically gone to live in start off my personal blog (properly, virtually...HaHa!) Fantastic work. I seriously loved that which you needed to say, and more than which, how we shown it. Also cool!

Now this is a wonderful news that i wish to hear more often. It is great that the true values of our city are honored and it is great that they started to decorate the Herndon firefighters. My brother is a fire fighter and he once drove some firemen to a mission because their car broke.

Submitted by opaler on February 24, 2013 - 4:20pm.

I think a disease shouldn't mean divorce or anything like this when you could choose vacation Australia instead... people who get married should expect anything even if it's good or bad. I think not many couples go to a Marriage Counselor when in need.

Design is the professional experience of your business or organization. Acquainted Style is all around us in our group. It is what causes marketing, attracts us to organizations. Acquainted performers make recognizable concepts, by hand or using programs, to hook up thoughts that encourage, notify, or captivate clients.

Fresh ingredients and a chef

Fresh ingredients and a chef who has spent much time in creating interesting, delicious and healthy meals are the two reasons why customers return time and again to Red Shrimp Chinese Restaurant on Jones Blvd. in Las Vegas. We have your old favorites such as eggs rolls and pot stickers, fried rice, lo mein and beef and broccoli. But it's time to broaden your palette.
