Sometimes all you have to do is look down to find art. This image is from San Diego California near imperial beach.

The Right Road
SCOTT PAPEK PRESENTS “THE RIGHT ROAD”
During my 10 day pacific northwest photo I covered the western part of Oregon and Washington. Lake Quinault is on the south from the heart of Olympic National Park. My brother was in the area 2 weeks prior and talked me into stopping here to check it out. I ended up staying at the brilliant Lake Quinault lodge and had the best salmon in my life at the “Salmon House” right down the road. When my kids get older I can see a family vacation destination for us. “The Right Road” is a limited edition of only 300 gallery prints and looks best at 40 x 40 with the Aluma museum mount.

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.

Scott Papek is releasing two Limited Edition prints, Tranquility #1 and Tranquility #2. Both images were captured in Oregon on the Mission Gorge at the same location 15 minutes apart. Not only do you get amazing sunsets this time of year, but throw in some haze from the wildfires and it becomes unpredictable and quite frankly, unbelievable. I’ve never released two prints from the same scene but maybe with the twins on the way I’m used to buying everything double now. Then again maybe my wife, Julie, and I couldn’t agree on one. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do. Mother Nature is queen and I thank her for creating beauty every minute of every day.

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”
