Scott has spent many hours around the Scripps Pier in La Jolla, California. He is drawn to the pier because every visit is different. Between the tide, weather, and time of day, the view is never the same. This particular evening, Scott was enjoying a rare moment in having the pier all to himself. The sun had just dipped behind the ocean. As he continuously clicked the shutter, he captured this perfect moment when the sand, sea, and sky became one. Please click here for sizing and more info.

east coast ocean storm
At one of my showings a very nice older lady in her 80’s approached me and said you’re a cloud person aren’t you. I replied yes I am and thanks for noticing. The beauty of Landscape photography is you could photograph the same place everyday with so many different outcomes. When you finally nail a shot like this, you move on and never return. This Photograph was shot along the Massachusetts coast.

Is 2013 heading in the right direction for you? This photographed was taken in White Sands, New Mexico.

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
