WHO IS BALD IS BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPHY?

Well, it's me of course! Hi, I'm Scott, just an ordinary guy who loves life and all the little nuances that it brings! Simply put, I'm a father to a wonderful son, a husband to a beautiful wife, and an amateur photographer who enjoys looking at the world through a piece of glass! I took up photography a couple of years ago, after having gastric bypass surgery. Since 12/07, I have lost 180 pounds, but found a real passion for documenting life with my camera. I could say that the big names out there have inspired me, and they have, But my true inspiration comes from the people I meet everyday who share the same thoughts and zeal I have for photography. We are truly blessed with some really great photographers around Nashville. So, what are you waiting for.... ...grab a camera, snap some pics, and enjoy life to the fullest!

I have OBD!

It’s official folks, I have OBD!  The official diagnosis is in, I have “Obsessive Blog Disorder”. If you look at the DSM, that’s the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, OBD is defined as:



Compulsions as defined by repetitive behaviors (e.g., hand washing, ordering, checking, reading photo blogs at odd times of the night or early morning) or mental acts (e.g., praying, counting, repeating words silently, drinking coffee while searching for new photo blogs) that the person feels driven to perform in response to an obsession, or according to rules that must be applied rigidly.



I’m just joking, but am I?  Sometimes I feel that need to search and research for information related to what I’m doing.  Heck people, it’s how I’ve learned what I’ve learned!  So, if reading blogs is an obsession,then I’m obsessed.  With that being said, let me share with you some of my new finds/reads for the week.



The following are some that I found while searching I ♥ Faces, or My Life with 3 Boybarians:



Amy Hinkle Photography


Better In Bulk


Diana’s Photos


Eclectic Whatnot (Ruthanne, whom I met at the I ♥ Faces Photo walk in Nashville)


Work of Heart Photography



And then there are other blogs that have offered giveaways, but actually have a lot of good information on them:



Shutter Sisters (Yes, I’m a guy who follows a gals photo blog)


La Pomme Design


Go{4}Pro


Chicktography (Once again, I find myself drawn to female photographers)


4 The Love Of Focus



And then there are ones I’ve found by following Scott Kelby or various Twitter Feeds:



Ken Kaminsky Travel Photography (Wonderful HDR travel photos)


Stephanie Cross Photography (Moose Peterson’s assistant, and Dave Cross’s daughter)


Brad Moore Visuals (Scott Kelby’s technical director)



And one last blog that is not directly related to photography:



The Frugal Girls (Wonderful savings, and the occasional money deal for cheap prints)

 



And of course, since this is a photography blog, here’s a snap from a recent outing!  Whatever you do in life, stay ahead of the pack!

Music City Marathon_-46

Enjoy life, snap some shots, and have fun…
That’s what I’m gonna do!
