La Jolla Point

La Jolla Hangout

Scott Papek Fine Art releases, “La Jolla Point”

San Diego California. Limited edition of 300.

La Jolla (pronounced La Hoya) is my favorite place to shoot holding my attention along a few miles of coastline for four years. As my training grounds, this atmosphere became the savior to my soul inspiring my transition from 15 years in the music industry. You would think shooting in a specific area for so long would amount to a portfolio of images. Less than 20 emerged as I learned to balance the spirit of this majestic yet powerful coastline with patience toward perfection. I am not referring to technical perfection, rather a perfect representation of the true and enduring spirit of this American surf for you to enjoy for a lifetime. For more info please click here.

 

Everything in it’s Right Place

Have you ever had a song get stuck in your head and you find yourself thinking about it, or God forbid, singing it over and over?  Remember, “Chumbawamba”? It can be pretty annoying at times. I also have the problem of getting images stuck in my head and I can’t shut them out of my mind. Sometimes it’s a photo I haven’t taken yet or sometimes it is one I have. Some days I’ll look at it several times and other times weeks go by and I don’t think about it.

Images to me are songs. Today I was getting stuff ready in the gallery before we opened and Radiohead’s, “Everything in It’s Right Place”, came on.  I immediately connected to it and turned the volume up. It was such a great moment to just sit there and enjoy a song I’ve heard a 100 times but it just sounded different today. I couldn’t get this image out of my mind during that moment.

My question to you is when you see this image what song comes to mind?

Everything in it’s Right Place was taken in San Diego around La Jolla Cove. I’m only printing five of  “Everything in Its Right Place”.  To view go here.

Exploring color

Posted on by

We all love spring, right? Spring means better weather, outdoor activites and beautiful color.  For a couple weeks Nebraska lights up with  yellow wildflowers, purple and white trees. I find myself more and more looking at what’s in front of me and making it my own. The technique is placing your camera on a tripod , slow down the shutter speed and zoom in and out during the shot. Just like all long exposure shots you never know what you are going to get.

Nature’s Art

                                              SCOTT PAPEK PRESENTS  “NATURE’S ART”

“Nature’s Art” is a limited edition of only 300 prints and captured in eastern Idaho October 22, 2012.

I  envisioned this shot 2 years ago and was finally able to bring my imagination to life with some luck and persistence. I would give anything in the world to be a painter but unfortunatley my brain and hands don’t understand the concept. When picking up a camera 5 years ago it made instant sense to me and has given me a way to paint in another format.
The technique is placing your camera on a tripod in portrait mode, slow down the shutter speed and move the camera up and down during the shot. Just like all long exposure shots you never know what you are going to get. You could say this image is very different from my other work but what’s inside me is all the same.      [pinterest-pro type=”pinit” pin_url=”http://papekphotography.com/natures-art/” pin_image_url=”http://www.papekphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/naturesart.jpg” pin_counter=”horizontal” pin_desc=”Veritcle Abstract by Scott Papek Photography”]
