  • Artist Name:
  • Tom O Scott
  • Statement:
  • My favorite photos are those that reveal a pattern, design, or composition that is universal, that extends beyond the object portrayed. I find these shots in the intricate lines on the beach made by the receding ocean tides, in the geometry of a dried up agave plant, in the fractal magic of a blooming flower, in the undulating lines of a desert dune.

    For me, the search is every bit as inspiring as the final product. My Sand Vision portfolio, for example, has brought me to the beach hundreds of times, and usually I return home without a single shot. Yet, the experience itself -- the sound of the breaking waves, the smell of the salt air, the colors, shapes and patterns luring the eyes -- is the greatest reward.

    A good photograph is simply icing on the cake.

You are most likely to find him on the beach, searching for patterns in the sand left by the receding tides. While he photographs a wide variety subjects, his real love is sand. In fact, many of his photographic friends call him the "Sandman." Scott has been very active in several art organizations in San Diego County, including the North County Photographic Association and the La Jolla Art Association. In addition he has won many awards in photographic competitions throughout the United States. His work hangs in galleries around the country, and is in private and corporate art collections in several states. Scott uses both film and digital cameras for his work.
