Buddy realized he was different than his Elf brothers. He set-out from the North Pole on a mission searching for his biological father. NYC presented many new wonders never experienced before. He seemed odd and different to those he met along the way, but his unique brand of cheer ultimately captured hearts. Stephen Utley Photography celebrates the unique and different because our creativity is known for capturing attention for its uniqueness. Let's spend 2021 turning heads and capturing hearts.

Fill the New Year with holiday cheer, and we'll bring our camera.

Happy Holidays,

He was brought to life by a magical silk hat. With his corncob pipe and a button nose, he and his posse of kids roamed the town. Unfortunately, the sun got a bit warm one day and melted Frosty away. But before leaving, he proclaimed, "You can place a bet on me to be back someday to deliver amazingly fresh photography in 2021."

Fill the New Year with positive vibes and cheer, and we'll bring our camera.

The Grinch descended on the merry town of Whoville, hell-bent on stealing all things Christmas. He woke Christmas morning expecting to hear sorrowful cries but instead heard joyous singing. It dawned on him that "maybe Christmas, perhaps, means much more" than presents and feasting. His shrunken heart suddenly grew three sizes, and he returned to Whoville, bringing back all the Whos' belongings. Tis the season to celebrate the true spirit of giving. We wish you the best, celebrate, and share heartfelt love and happiness. The gift we deliver is our photography, the kind that turns heads.

Only a few know if you’ve been naughty or nice. If you’ve played your cards right, you might get a visit from the portly, jolly gent named Saint Nick. Tis the season for giving, but the greatest gift you can give isn’t material treasures; it’s sharing simple things, thoughtful words, a warm smile, and heartfelt laughter. Most of all, showing love to others.

We wish you and your loved ones a safe and happy holiday season, and may 2021 bring you your share of creativity and prosperity.

PEAK XV – NOW AVAILABLE

“In ancient Nepali culture, the Meh-Teh (Yeti) was considered sacred. They served the gods as the protectors of the mountains and forests. The Yeti plays a central role in the storyline of my latest book, PEAK XV.”
– Stephen Shields

PEAK XV – EXCERPT: CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE – CURSED
Suddenly a blurred mass leaped toward the deer, grabbing its antlers. An intense struggle began as the deer frantically fought to free itself. A hulking creature grasped the deer’s antlers and je**ed its head violently to one side, with such great force that it snapped the large Sambar’s neck, killing it instantly. The creature released the buck’s’ head, its carcass fell to the ground, and the predator immediately began feeding. The sight and ferocity of a nearly eight-foot-tall, ape-like creature standing upright on its two hind legs and overpowering the strong buck shook the men. They instinctively began to retreat while the animal gorged itself. As they slowly backed away, one of the group stepped on a dried branch, and the sound of a snapping wood broke their silence.

MEET THE CHARACTERS OF PEAK XV – King Śuddhodana – Ruler of Kapilavastu was only fourteen when his father died and passed down his crown. Although well-educated and groomed as his father’s successor, at such a young age, his lack of maturity and experience was evident to his council, handlers personally selected by his father to offer guidance and advice after his passing. During this time, his visions were narrow, the decisions he made were often spontaneous and not thoughtful, driven by his impetuous personality and more times than not driven purely by his emotions. His bloodline made him King; however, his lineage was that of a consummate warrior. As he matured, he became a wise and just ruler.

MEET THE CHARACTERS OF PEAK XV – Meet the colorful characters of Stephen Shields PEAK XV. Shields’ latest novel is historical fiction, the product of extensive research into the history of Nepal and Mount Everest. The story combines true-life historical events and people with fictitious characters and happenings. PEAK XV is a dual-timeline novel that flashes from Nepal’s ancient past to the early 20th century “age of exploration.” The story weaves legendary, contemporary characters such as Winston Churchill, British mountaineer George Mallory, and the British Monarchy with Nepal’s rich history - Buddhism, the ruling dynasties, the life and times of Siddhārtha (more commonly known as The Buddha), and the efforts over the centuries to summit Everest.

THE CHARACTERS OF PEAK XV
Lord Rana of Atma and his eternal order of darkness, believed the mediocrity of humanity and its inability to embrace darkness would forever allow darkness to thrive and make it possible for it to one day triumph over light. In their centuries of isolation in a remote monastery, the monks of Atma strayed from traditional religious beliefs; their views became distorted, based on teachings and religious practices derived from obscure ancient texts. The few that encountered the monks told stories of how they regularly used incantations to summon dark gods to gain a deeper understanding of man’s vulnerabilities and the world that they could not fully understand through conventional views.

PEAK XV is my latest historical fiction, dual-timeline novel, the product of extensive research into the history of Nepal and Mount Everest. PEAK XV is not another rehashed account of an expedition team looking to conquer Everest; instead, the story combines true-life historical events and people with fictitious characters and happenings. PEAK XV flashes from Nepal’s ancient past to the early 20th century “age of exploration.” It weaves legendary contemporary figures such as Winston Churchill, British mountaineer George Mallory, and the British Monarchy with Nepal’s rich history - Buddhism, the ruling dynasties, the life and times of Siddhārtha (more commonly known as The Buddha) and the efforts over the centuries to summit Everest. The narrative offers the reader a hero’s journey - challenge, conquest, mysticism, struggle, redemption, and more.

Those that know me know that I’ve spent my career exploring creativity, both professionally and personally, as a designer, brand strategist, photographer, and writer. I also am somewhat an art collector. Occasionally buying what I think are interesting pieces, I sn**ch them up!

If you are a fan of film, you should recognize what this reclaimed metal sculpture is? A Xenomorph, the creature from the 1979 science-fiction horror film Alien, directed by Ridley Scott. What amazes me about this style of art is how the artist crafts his or her work from discarded junk metal using nails, hinges, screws, nuts, bolts, spoons, bicycle chain, rebar, etc. I came across it yesterday and knew I had to give it a happy home.
