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!

Sweet Shot Tuesday, The Unknown

Old Stone Fort-10

 Have you ever felt like you were standing on the edge of a precipice, knowing that you needed to take that first step, but were afraid?  Well, that’s where I’m at right now!


As of last Wednesday, I was told that the job I love would no longer be. This was a job that changed my life, my families life, and plainly, the way I treat people.  I started this job 10 years ago when my family was having some problems with my then 2 year old (he’s 13 now) and his behavior.  We went through the program, and then I was hired as a parent staff case manager.  All of our case managers are parents who have graduated the program.


So for the last 10 years, I have been helping families learn to be better families using positive behavior management.  Teaching has always been a passion of mine, but this program gave me more than an outlet for that.  It gave me a sense of being, a sense of how to relate to people.  To see the smile on the face of a 3 year old that has never been told something positive, instead of a scream, is truly rewarding!


So that leads me to where I am now, standing on the edge of a cliff…waiting, wanting, and praying.  I’m really not worried about a job.  I work part-time at Home Depot, and the chances of going full-time there is really good, so I know my family will survive! 


The scary part of all this is the path I’m being led down.  For a long time, I have felt the urge to take my photography to the next level.  To be able to do something more with this passion that I have found.  Well not only have I wanted that, but a lot of people have been encouraging me in that endeavor as well. 


So fast forward to Thursday morning ( the day after my job loss announcement)  where I awoke from a really pitiful night of sleep.  In my mind this was the image I saw…I’m standing on the edge of that cliff, scared to death, trembling, frightened, and I hear a voice in my heart, mind and soul saying…”Take that step, snap that photo, and I’ll take care of the rest”!


Where is this all going, I don’t know.  But I do know this, I have a God that loves me, cares for me, and protects me, all I have to do is believe, and believe I will!  So keep this ole country boy in your thoughts and prayers while I believe.  And since this is Sweet Shot Tuesday, I thought I would leave you with some shots I took last Saturday with some photography friends!


In this beauty of Spring and resurrection from a cold and harsh Winter, I can’t help but see God’s loving face!  Make sure you head on over to Darcy’s blog and check out the rest of the Sweet Shots this week!
