my blog
I’m Scott and this blog is to share some insights and tips for people that love photography and Photoshop. I travel around the world shooting stock photography but I love all kinds of shooting.
I also teach many photography classes and lead photo tours to some beautiful places. There’s always have a smile on my face when I know I’m leaving soon for somewhere far away.
The darkroom days long ago helped me fall in love with photography but Photoshop took over my workflow long ago. Photoshop is a photographers best friend and life would not be the same without it. I love sharing and teaching many of the tricks I know and will post some on this blog.
Happy reading …I hope you enjoy your stay….

Scott,
I took your class at UCLA last year and just stumbled on your blog. The images are absolutely great, and I’m having fun trying to figure out which plug-ins you used on each shot. My favorite, however, is the multiple shots of Holly in the classroom. Brilliant!
When will you be teaching again in LA?
All the best,
Jeff
Hi Jeff,
so, trying to guess what plugins did what?? wonder if I can remember? so many,
so, I just taught a class at UCLA last saturday..next class maybe in a couple months.. not sure.
But it’s on their site. and glad you liked the multiple exposure of Holly….was an assignment I gave the whole class and went so well!!
everyone did some very cool stuff.
anyway keep in touch Jeff!!

Hi, Scott!
I absolutely love love LOVE your photography. I’ve bookmarked your site and go to it often for soothing relaxation and beauty.
Two quick (but important) questions, if you could:
1) How can I order a print (or framed) copy of one of your specific work? (I am extremely interested in buying a print of your Burma photo with all of the hot air balloons in it. It is so quiet and moving. Please help!
oops! forgot to include:
2) We all LOVE the music on your site. Any chance you would divulge the artist(s) album name Thanks!
Keep upu the amazing work!

Hello Scott,
I want to wish you the best always in your endeavors. I also want to thank you tremendously for the most beautiful images you have captured. I can only hope that one day I will be able to travel abroad and snap a shot of beauty at its peak like you have. I will admit that almost every morning and evening I sit on my bed turn on my laptop and reminisce through your photographs and listen to your calm and serene music. Thank you for having this site up. I hope that you continue to take amazing pictures.
Love & Peace, Lorelly

Howdy Scott,
Like many of the previous posters, I literally Stumbled to your site and was instantly amazed. I shared the link with all my photography buddies on Facebook as I did not want them to miss out. I love the music. I also love the images from Carnival in Venice. I have always been fascinated by masks…and Venice. Those shots are sweet stuff!

Hi Kerry,
thanx for writing. And yea…music is what goes well with photos. Can’t have a site without music!! and I too love Carnival in Venice. I have made so many friends there and have to go back soon.
It is just a feast for the eyes. I buy masks there from some of my favorite mask makers every time I am there. Some of them were in the movie “Eyes Wide Shut”
anyway…. thanx again…..
see ya Kerry,
scotty
Thanx Kerry!!
Kind of you to write and happy you like the shots from Carnival. The masks are really out of this world and I have brought many back home with me.
