If you know me, you know I almost went for a career in music before switching to photography. Music influences my life almost every day. When I hear a song it brings back memories, makes me think of people, friends, family and even my photographs. So here is the challenge: Pick a song that you [...]
Project 365 thus far
by Scott on July 13, 2010 in Project 365
It’s been some time since starting my Project 365 (292). If you didn’t know, I started the project the same time as Andy Cuadra. We all get very busy so taking a brand new photo every single day has been challenging. There are days where I just photograph anything just to get something out there. [...]
A Photographers Challenge: HDR your photo studio
by Scott on July 1, 2010 in Challenge
This is a pretty tough challenge as the prize is just that incredible. Clean up your photography studio or computer station if you don’t own a studio. Make it presentable or don’t. Either way, this is a fun challenge. Photograph some brackets of your space. Then download the free trial of HDR PhotoStudio 2 and [...]

A Photographers Challenge: Photograph your name
by Scott on March 9, 2010 in Challenge
Sounds easy doesn’t it? I will be the bearer of bad news… it is not easy. Almost a year ago I was asked to put this collage together for my brother and his girlfriend. I started on a mission to photograph from A to Z. Many photowalks later my alphabet catalog grew. After my brother [...]

A Photographers Challenge: Your favorite HDR Photo
by Scott on February 8, 2010 in Challenge
I didn’t want to us the word “best” in the title of this challenge. In my opinion we (photographers) never get to a “best” point. We just keep learning improve on our work. To quote one of my photograph professors I had in college: “Practice does not make perfect, practice makes permanent” – Charles Luce [...]
