All artists are self-taught

Techniques and skill and even a point of view are often handed down, formally or not. It’s easier to get started if you’re taught, of course.

But art, the new, the ability to connect the dots and to make an impact–sooner or later, that can only come from one who creates, not from a teacher and not from a book. “Seth Godin”

911

Posted on by

I have learned so many things in the last 4 years selling my art in galleries and art shows.

1. Have an open mind.

2. Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.

3. Don’t ever think you have it figured out.

4. Always try to better people’s lives.

I have not sold a 911 image in 2 years until yesterday. 911 was shot on 9/11/09 in La Jolla, California.

San Diego

Posted on by

“America’s Finest Evening” is one of my babies from my portfolio. This area in La Jolla is where I taught myself how to photograph. It’s being donated to a fantastic charity that offers support to grieving children and their caregivers. We like to work with charities, so keep us in mind if you’re ever looking for donations.

Bird Eye View

It seems like just yesterday Julie and I were enjoying a typical evening walk at the beach. Since I pretty much have the coolest wife ever who puts up with a geeky husband who drags a camera and tripod everywhere. This image was taken Ocean Beach, California 2009.

Nahant Beach

Nahant Beach is located Northwest of Boston. A beautiful sunrise with some dancing clouds.  [pinterest-pro type=”pinit” pin_url=”http://papekphotography.com/nahant-beach/” pin_image_url=”http://www.papekphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/ScottPapek1.jpg” pin_counter=”horizontal” pin_desc=”Nahant Beach photograph taken by Scott Papek.”]

 

 

Docking at Dusk

Posted on by

Tomorrow from 10:00am to 3:00p at the Hot Shops Art Center we’ll be selling smaller prints from 8 x 12’s to 12 x 18’s. If you’ve been following me for a while you know this doesn’t happen very often.

“Docking at Dusk” was taken in 2009 in the Coronado Bay on a brilliant evening.
