Hi Kyle,
I have heard from another friend of Steve's off list who tells me 
that Steve definitely shoots with Nikon, and now you have confirmed 
it. I guess the magazine editor just assumed that such great images 
were made with a Leica and put the camera on the cover. Thanks for 
the info. I enjoy your work and stories.
