Today I went to check out the photography of Scott Baxter.

Here Scott and his First Assistant, of three and a half years, Amanda Nielson show me the work I was interested in. For some the tradition is to bring a loaf of bread, I brought along some Cokes and parfaits. These guys are way too cool!

Scott shoots commercially and specializes in people on location. His clients range from
Bank of America. Arizona Public Service, Sky Harbor International Airport, Datek, Tosco, and Hyatt Hotels. His work has appeared in The New York Times, Men's Journal, Fortune, Money, and many many other publications.

What I came to see was a collection of black and white photos from Japan. His Japan collection is awesome and I have got to add them to my collection.

Scott also showed me his new project, which I know my wife would love, which is of historic significance. It is a collection of ranchers, all shot with large format cameras, and executed in black and white. It is to coincide with the 100th anniversary of Arizona statehood.

His images of several ranchers captures the true spirit of these important families. He recognizes the families that have struggled to survive and persevere in difficult times. This project will take him a few more years but after seeing an image of Sam Udall in black and white, I was extremely impressed. If you are a historian or collector of fine art concerning the west, you need to see this collection.

To learn more about Scott, go to his web site or call him.
