News from Steve Shames

New Website!

Welcome to the online galleries of Steve Shames. I hope you enjoy this new website!  I just posted pictures from our last safari to Africa in October 2022. We just returned from a trip to Patagonia so I will be posting pictures from that trip soon. I just offered my new coffee table book, "African Reflections" for sale here https://www.steveshamesphotos....

I live in the Sacramento metro area in California with the love of my life and travel partner, Lauri. Below are the trips we have planned for 2023 so far.
