Exploring The South
"Exploring The South" is a study of the changes, or lack
thereof, that suburban Georgia has experienced over many years.
The images contained in this book are not of forgotten or
abandoned places, but rather of spaces which are still in use
today and still serving the town or city which they are located
in some capacity. Many of these structures continue to play the
same role as when they were first built, others now relegated to
a secondary life in the shadows of what they once were.
This book, "Exploring the South" is just that, the first in a
three book series of photos from Scott's travels throughout the
state of Georgia, exploring its many communities.

Camera Crazy
Camera Crazy tells the history of toy and novelty cameras,
explores how these items spurred international photography
movements, and makes clear just how popular they remain today. I
was very honored to have been selected, along with several other
photographers, to contribute images for this book taken with the
various toy cameras which are featured.
This remarkable book celebrates the “toy camera” and its rise
out of a novelty market. Inexpensive, often shamelessly marketed
to children, and sometimes just plain quirky, these cameras have
become a niche industry that thrived during the analog film era
and continue to enjoy immense popularity in our digital world.

Great Wall Plastic
"Great Wall Plastic" is a collection of images made over a
period of 7 years, between 2005 and 2012, of simple and typical
subjects using several incarnations of the famed "Diana" plastic
toy camera. Some select variants of the original Diana camera
that were used for these images include the Panax, Valiant,
Diana F, Debonair, and the Stellar.
The original Diana camera, known as the "Diana 151" was first
produced in the early 1960's by the Great Wall Plastic Co. in
Hong Kong. Production continued through the 1970s but ceased
sometime thereafter. The camera was produced under many names
for different markets, many of the cameras were given away or
sold for nominal sums as novelties or prizes at fairs,
carnivals, product promotions, raffles, or other events.
