About

Steve Keegan worked as a photojournalist for 17 years on newspapers such as the Los Angeles Times, Napa Valley Register and Reno Gazette-Journal. He is an alumnus of the San Jose State School of Journalism, where he won several awards for his writing and photography.

While chief photographer of the Napa Valley Register, Steve regularly photographed the Raiders, A's and San Jose Sharks.

(My profile picture is of my childhood hero, Butch Goring, with his arm around me. I am wearing my "Mr. Bill" t-shirt and look like I just met Jesus Christ. An easy mistake considering Butch's 70's hairstyle. )

    Hey Steve,

    I know "East Coast bias" is a big pet peeve of yours. I thought you might be interested in my attempt to quantify it:

    Greetings Steve -

    Enjoyed your first article on our favorite hockey team. Though my favorite baseball team are the boys in Blue, it does seem like we have many favorite players in common.

    Excellent photo with Butch, I always say if it wasn't for the Kings, the Islanders wouldn't have won any Cups, what with us giving them Goring and Smith.

    When you get a chance, please check out the following link as I would be interested in your feedback:

    All the best!
