Perfect Harmony

I was listing to music and going through my six years of work, when I came across this image.  It was one of those days where you feel like the universe is working against you.  I had been working on my seasonal gallery all day with my designer and nothing was flowing.  This image has everything that inspires me; the ocean, the breeze, the moment, the smell and most importantly, the sound of the stream working perfectly with the subtle ocean waves.  This image reflects perfect harmony.  It inspired me and helped me find perspective on a challenging day.  I hope it does the same for you.  Click here to view the full image:

Upcoming Events:

  • Nov 15th – Dec 31st the Seasonal Gallery will be open.  Located on the 2nd level, next to Greenberg Diamonds and across from Pac Sun.  The gallery is coming along nicely.  I’m very excited to be opening it soon.

Thank you for being a part of my journey!

If you’re in Omaha, please stop by the gallery to support this (SOB) South Omaha Boy.

Natures Color

Colorado Aspens

The other day I was giving a presentation on my work and someone asked me what was my favorite part about being a Landscape Photographer. I’ve never been asked before but it wasn’t a hard answer. It’s the search to find something different, colorful, meaningful and peaceful. More times than not, it’s about getting into my car and drive with no expectations. There is so much out there that hasn’t been touched and I feel like it’s my responsibility to expose it. Nature’s Color was around Crested Butte, Colorado. To view sizing and pricing click here

Loyal

I believe a photo is only as good as it’s story. My original plan was to capture a sunset shot but that went out the door as I watched this loyal dog sit at the beach for an hour until his master(dad) was done surfing. If you have ever had that love for your pet you totally get this story. “Loyal” was captured at Anini Beach in Kauai, Hawaii.

Exploring color

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.

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.
