I’m a shutterbug. I’ve shot photos my whole life (well – for as long as I can remember). Back “in the day” I could even process my own black and white film and print pics as well. I inherited my grandfather’s collection of camera’s (very good ones) when I was […]
… if you know me very well (if not… hi… I’m Steve … nice to meet you), you understand that I am a driven person who works very very hard to be a success. I believe in personal effort. I believe in individualism. I believe in personal achievement. I believe […]

THE LITTLE RED BALL TRICK by Steve Trash® It was gone. It was completely gone. That little red plastic “magic trick” ball had been there moments before….. now it was gone. Totally gone. I hadn’t done anything. It wasn’t a trick. That little ball had REALLY disappeared. It just disappeared. […]
WHY MAGIC TRICKS MATTER TO OUR KIDS… by Steve Trash® It’s official. We live in a “Hey Siri” and “Alexa” world of instant downloads, GPS, fast food, selfies and “on-demand” everything. The world is moving at a speed no-one can catch up with and all the while we seem to […]
