Welcome
Welcome to my little slice of the Internet. I’m truly honored you stopped by. I am a Freelance Photographer and a Content Manager based out of Auburn, Alabama. I create custom photography services to writing online content to managing social media accounts. If you are interested in my freelance work as a photographer or writer, please contact me to start the conversation.
About My Website
My site is focused on Exploring Photography Through Photo Essays. I create original content around collections of images and post several times a month. I do also write around topics on faith, life, technology, sailing, sports, gardening, or whatever is happening in life at that time. My Blog was started in 2004 and has a lot of history, my Journal is a collection of pages on many different topics, and my Portfolios are photographic collections of work going back almost 30 years now.
About My Photography
My personal photography concentrates on creating high quality images with whatever gear I’m currently using. I’ve been shooting more than 30 years now and if you are reading this in 2024, I’ve tried to narrow my focus in photography quite a bit to bring more value to my clients while also shooting things I’m passionate about creating like Street Photography and Travel Photography. You can read more about my photographic journey or see my photography services I offer.
To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event.
~Henri Cartier-Bresson
If you want to just flip through some of my current photography then start over on my blog. My blog now has decades of material and it’s still updated frequently.
About Me
I have lived all over the country, with most of my roots in Alabama, and I call the Auburn/Opelika area home. Over the years I’ve loved my time living in California, Texas, Florida, New Jersey, and various other places, but Auburn will always be home to me. I’ve had the privilege of traveling all over the world from Australia to Uganda and everywhere in between. This has given me a unique perspective on different cultures and ways of life I could never have understood without having gone there, and it’s impacted my life and thinking tremendously.
My passions in life that surrounds me daily, that push me forward is, my love for the Lord , my family, and then my personal connection with photography and all the nuances contained in that art form.
Personal Statement
In this post-911-post-covid world things can feel quite overwhelming at times. I recognize most people are doing the best they can, and we don’t all have to agree on everything all the time, and I’m ok with that. I respect everyone equally to the very best of my abilities no matter who they are or what they say. I hope you will afford me the same respect as I do you.
I look forward to connecting with you. If you have a blog or website I would love to take a look at it, please leave a comment below with your website address so we can all check it out!

Scott,
I am also a seminary student at Liberty University Online and in the midst of a ministry plant in Bedford, IN. The reason I am contacting you is that I have found some of your DSMN 500 WA essays to be a good guide in helping me get an outline and direction for my papers. I am working on my “Discipleship Ministry Project” and I could use any advice or direction that you may have. I know what my ministry project will be, however, I am a visual learner “what should my finished project look like” FYI “you do awesome blog work” I have a blog but I am not a blogger. I keep ministry updates on it and that is about it, however, when time allows I would love to be more involved
We have a professionally published video on the home page that tells all about our ministry, we have secured the building and location just this week. Praise God.
Thank You and I look forward to your reply

David, thanks so much for your comments… I haven’t taken the ministry project class so not sure how well i could help you there with that, but, i am still working on adding my Discipleship essays to my site, so maybe that will help.
i checked out your blog and your ministry site, great work, looks like you have your hands full 🙂
Hello Scott,
I would like to inquire about an image of yours, known to me only by the image file title of “great-horned-owl1.jpg”. The image in question was posted to your blog on May 02, 2008. The reason for my inquiry is as follows:
As an artist, I have been selected to donate a selected work for a silent-auction fund-raising event. All proceeds from said auction are to be allocated to the construction of a skateboard and bicycle park in our community. As such, the medium that we, the artists, have been provided with, is that of a skateboard deck. After weeks of conjuring up various ideas for this platform, I have now narrowed my selections down to two options. One of these options, is that of an owl. After searching Google Images for various reference images, I became quite intrigued by the aforementioned photograph, and would possibly like to pursue a painted rendition for my donation.
If you could please contact me with regards to this image, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
