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”
New Beginning
“New Beginning” was captured right out of Custer National Forest in Montana.
The Man above blessed me with an ubelievable painting in the sky. “New Beginning” is a limited edition print of only 10.

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.

Tetons Barn
The goal was to capture this famous barn in the Tetons with a different perspective. The storm clouds along with the movement in the grass add the drama for me. The reason for this posting today was influenced by a blog post from a brilliant man, Seth Godin. Seth has helped me in so many ways even though he has no idea who I am. Here is his latest blog post.
Stand out or fit in. Not all the time, and never at the same time, but it’s always a choice.
Those that choose to fit in should expect to avoid criticism (and be ignored). Those that stand out should expect neither.
