About Copper Cactus Graphics

My name is Steve Riedler and I'm the owner of Copper Cactus Graphics. I am a native of the midwest who fell in love with the natural beauty of the state of Arizona and moved to the Phoenix area in the late 1980's where I've since worked in the computer industry.

One of my many hobbies is photography. With its vast array of canyons, mountains and desert fauna and flora, Arizona is a photographers dream. You just can't take a bad picture of the Superstition mountains or the Grand Canyon. Nothing quite compares with the feeling I get when I'm out on a hike, round a bend and see the spectacular scenery of the desert Southwest sprawled out before me. Capturing the beauty of nature in all its splendour is a true thrill. Although I photograph mostly desert terrain, I also enjoy taking pictures of oceans, mountains and interesting architecture. I used to have some of my photos posted at CaptureMyArizona. But that site is now defunct. Therefore, I've recently created a photography subdomain at Copper Cactus Photography to share my photos with the Internet community again.

I also enjoy graphic design, especially using Photoshop. I have two Cafepress stores; the Copper Cactus Graphics Store, to showcase some of my Arizona, history, science, nature and animal related graphics and photographic creations on all kinds of merchandise from t-shirts to stickers to mugs and the Cyphernaut Store, featuring world language and culture related designs on the same range of products.

I also enjoying reading books and writing short stories. I've opened up a Kindle store on Amazon to feature e-books in three different genres. Just go to the E-books page to peruse the selection.
