Lost At Sea
SCOTT PAPEK PRESENTS “LOST AT SEA”
Northern California offers some of the most beautiful coastlines in the country. It also offers a lot of foggy days. I only had one morning left to get this shot documented due to fog the previous days. I’ll never forget sitting there in the dark listening to the gentle waves below wondering if today was the day there would be clear skies. Not only was it clear out but it was some of the most beautiful light I had ever witnessed.
Lost at Sea was captured in San Simeon Bay, California. What I love about it is that it could be anywhere. I think that’s my style I don’t like to document places or landmarks it’s more about getting into the heart and soul of what is in front of me. “Lost at Sea” is a limited edition of only 300 images and available here.
Dancing Tide
SCOTT PAPEK PRESENTS “DANCING TIDE”
“Dancing Tide” is a limited edition of only 300 gallery prints.
Returning to where I started my journey as a photographer was a cleanse for my mind and soul. Music, movies, authors, color, water, nature, light, chefs, presentation, design, friends and my family inspire me. The newest pricey camera and lens doesn’t inspire me.
Everyone is creative somehow, someway. All you have to do is find the right tool to get it out of you. Find out more here

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
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.

Crystal Pier
This pier isn’t one of the largest, one of the most modern, or one of the most convenient piers in California, but it is one of the top piers in the state with San Diegans and tourist. Crystal Pier is a wooden pier, 872 feet long, located at the end of Garnet Ave in Pacific Beach.
I don’t promote my facebook page at all but with so many new ventures coming in the future I’m starting to use facebook.com/PapekPhotography as my visual diary. I hope to see you in the facebook world. Scott

17 more sleeps till San Diego
I’m really excited to get back to my roots as a photographer. La Jolla, California is where I taught myself to photograph the beauty in this world.

San Diego
“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.
