Steven Coppenbarger

I live, work, eat, drink, sleep, and enjoy the good life in Berlin Germany. My Camera is a Canon 5D MKII with the Canon EF 16-35/2,8 LII USM , shooting mostly RAW for digital tweaking afterwards. Shooting from the hip, I use a FujiPix x100s which takes great pix, has a fast lens and makes great low light exposures. I've also been bitten by the URBEX Bug, exploring and photographing old, abandoned, derelict and sometimes forbidden places of the past. There is a certain "high" in being lucky enough to visit places where time has stood still for decades, moving through history, capturing the natural decay of a place.
