    MEET THE FEATURED OUTDOOR EYES PHOTOGRAPHER - Ray Streib
    As a farm lad I had always dreamed of visiting the Western United States and perhaps living in California. Now, as the farm lad grown old but still dreaming young dreams the westward move has become a reality.

    Residing about two hours west of the snow and mountains and about two hours from the sea, I find myself with my family in the best of both worlds!

    After more than five decades of photography for newspapers, magazines, personally-owned studios, ballet dancers and companies, gymnasts and gymnastics organizations, starting and maintaining a school of modeling, and just plain fun photography to fill spare hours I find myself centering on marketing past and present efforts.

    We have other photography available that is not a part of Outdoor Eyes, so if you have an interest in other fields please contact us and let us know. We have literally hundreds of photographs of professional circuses and literally thousands of photographs of live models.

    Thanks for visiting and thanks to Phil Tulin whose idea has become OUTDOOR EYES.

    Sincerely,
    Ray Streib
