Stephen W. Oachs is a successful entrepreneur, technology veteran and award-winning photographer. Whether trekking through the wilds of Alaska, enduring the raw challenges of nature or experiencing the thrill of life on the edge, Stephen captures rare and breathtaking moments of light and time. His exceptional eye is filtered only by his passion for life, deep affinity with nature and love of adventure.
This Oachs photo shows Horseshoe Bend, with the Colorado River snaking around a stone pillar over 1,000 feet tall. The sheer enormity of Horseshoe Bend takes the breath away, but seeing it through the mellow blaze of sunset is indescribable. This photograph was awarded first place in Popular Photography Magazine’s "Your Best Shot" Contest, September 2008.

I saw this in popular photography magazine recently and have seen his work before. I think he is one of the best living photographers today. Peter Lik also has this type of style.
