TAYLOR FOLLY BEACH FISHING PIER Photography by Steve DuPree Steve DuPree Jr. is a life long resident of the lowcountry. He is married to his lovely wife Kathy He is the father of two children, Nicole and Tripp, and the grandfather his grandson, Tate. When Steve started photography as a hobby, he knew right away that landscape photography was to be his pursuit. His desire is to capture the beauty of the place we get to call home, and share it with as many people as possible. Steve has a passion for witnessing the unbelievable sunrises and sunsets that are on display each day here. I take that passion with me to the local beaches to catch a brief second of the beauty that a sunrise mixed with a fantastic beach can make together. Along with Steves love of the beaches, he is a frequent visitor to the beautiful gardens that are a part of Charleston. There is nothing like the azalea bloom in Springtime to stir the spirits of anyone. I hope that I can continue to share the scenes that are so special to the lowcountry.
