Thanks Tiburon life for the love.<\/p>\n

Scott Papek has always been creative; he just wasn\u2019t sure how to cultivate that creativity.\u00a0 As a south Omaha native, he attended Assumption Grade School and graduated from Gross High School.\u00a0 After graduation, Scott attended college on a part-time basis while he tried to figure out what to do with his life.<\/p>\n

Scott says a defining moment for him was in 1991 when he bought a Pearl Jam cd.\u00a0 That purchase totally changed his life and he made the decision to become a part of the music industry.\u00a0 He began interning at 101.9, The Edge in Omaha and while that station went under, Scott\u2019s career didn\u2019t.\u00a0 He landed gigs in Albuquerque, Phoenix, Los Angeles and San Diego.<\/p>\n

While living in San Diego he worked as a Creative Services Director for a company that ran two radio stations. \u00a0\u00a0In 2008, while the economy began to dive, the pressure for Scott became unbearable and he began looking for a creative outlet.\u00a0 He bought a camera and got up at 5:00 AM every morning to take pictures of the ocean.\u00a0 He admits that while his mind had no idea what to do, his soul did and after six months of daily photography, he took and amazing shot titled \u201cLa Jolla\u2019s Temple\u201d and his life was forever changed.<\/p>\n

For Scott, photography is storytelling.\u00a0 He explains that photography is a really competitive business.\u00a0 Today, with IPhones and Instigrams, most people can make a picture look good, but Scott explains that photography isn\u2019t about the latest and greatest gear or the camera you own, it is about telling a story.\u00a0 \u201cA camera doesn\u2019t take a picture, a person takes a picture\u201d, Scott says.\u00a0 \u201cI love to tell stories and I believe if you spend enough time with a person or landscape you can find beauty anywhere, anytime\u201d.<\/p>\n

Scott is a self-taught photographer.\u00a0 His training consisted of being relentless and from failing.\u00a0 While some people have difficulty with failure, Scott finds it inspiring and motivating.\u00a0 He hates to lose and does not like to be told that he can\u2019t do something.\u00a0 Those words create a challenge for him.<\/p>\n

Scott\u2019s advice for his neighbors is to do what you love.\u00a0 He says \u201cif you\u2019re working in a career you are not passionate about, STOP!\u00a0 Thank you for sharing, Scott, we look forward to watching you continue in your journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
