Intrigued by the inner workings of a simple, mechanical SLR camera lent to him by his father with the fateful words- “son, turn the ring ‘till it’s sharp, put the needle in the circle, press here to shoot,” a lifelong obsession of image making was born. Scott earned a BA in Art History and an MFA in Fine Art from Florida State University after which he accepted a teaching fellowship in Florence, Italy. Since 2004, he has resided in Upstate New York with his wife and their two children pursuing longitudinal art projects and adventure endurance sports as a spiritual balance to the stresses of everyday life, and to combat the long cold winter season.
