Hi Scott. Love your photographs mate, and your ethos….. I’ve always also been a ‘wait for the moment’ photographer, much to the pained resignation of my wife (since way back when we 1st met in 1980 and she had to endure outings where I’d spend ages waiting for the fleeting moment when the light and/or the composition of something I’d just spotted while we out in the country (we then lived in England), might just reveal itself as I saw it. My youngest daughter (of 3) seems to have the same ‘eye’ for an image which most others walk past and never see, so I’ve encouraged her to take it further as maybe a life choice/career whatever… I particularly like your #11 as I’m into the ’50s and also old motorcycles, and somehow that image is timeless, exactly as I know now you try to make even your very recent images timeless….and do so superbly. Cheers, Les Elmer, Auckland, New Zealand.

@a: Before I say anything else, I just want to say that Danny Lyons is the fucking man. Bikeriders was a powerful photo essay on the Outlaw culture back in the day.

That being said, before I knew of Danny Lyon’s work, I knew of Scott because I used to skate, and his photos in Transworld were always my favorites. In my mind, Scott is my generation’s Danny Lyon.

Hey man,
I think that you’re super talented and would like permission to use one of your photos for some PROmotional material. Visit my website and hit me back if it’s cool. Thanks!

It is always a treat for me to read Scott’s thoughts on his photographic life. I am very proud of my two very talented sons and happy that their passions and talents have given them such direction and focus in life and so much pleasure along the way as well as a way to make a living.

scott’s heart pumps old kodachrome straight through his ticker then
through his testicles and out the eyeball and then boomerangs it back to
the index finger.
