Many years ago I discarded or sold (the stuff that still worked) all my photo gear, left the business and have since photographed things in my line of sight with cameras either given to me, discarded or purchased for less than five dollars. My film is all scrounged and discarded stock from photogs who are "going digital". Don't get me wrong; I'm not a bigot. Digital is good, yeah, I like digital. I do digital. Some of my best friends are digital.

I only discovered Scott's work today after he made a tiny comment on one of my photos yesterday. That made me look. And look. I sat there and went through his *entire* photostream in one sitting. I had to. His "Utah" set just blew me away. Some of his photos made me alternately want to throw my camera away in disgust at my own attempts or grab it hard and dig deeper into my work. I think I'll do the latter, using some of his photos as inspiration to work from. Maybe I'll even get something 1/2 as good. There's just so much that's good here, and what's not good is damned great. Go look at 100 different "flowers, sunsets & kittens" photostreams around Flickr, then come back here and see how it's really done; with feeling, pain, passion and a visual punch in the eye.

Scott is one of the most creative photographers I've ever known. He's made some of the most simple images incredibly beautiful. More than anyone else, I've ever known, Scott's been the biggest influence in my photography. He's been my friend and mentor and he continues to amaze me with his images.

I can vouch for nimrodcooper's fidelity in handling other people's money. In fact, when Mr. M'besko cuts my check from the Bank of Nigeria, I'm putting nimrodcooper in charge of my portfolio
