SCOTT PEARSON – I grew up in Duluth, MN just a few blocks from Lake Superior, and as a kid would spend hours combing the rocky shorelines for agates and other interesting artifacts.  I’ve lived the majority of my life within a couple hours drive of the Lake in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and always feel the urge to visit her shores as often as possible.  While I enjoy fishing, hiking, cross-country skiing and other outdoor activities in the Northwoods, landscape photography has always been appealing to me.  In college I could never quite fit a photography course into my class schedule, and being the pre-digital age, film photography was a fairly daunting and unattainable goal at that time.  As the digital age of photography was becoming more prevalent in the late 90s, my interest continued to grow.  My occupation in natural resource management introduced me to new landscapes and outdoor settings that were inspirational to me, and I was driven to start capturing those scenes.
