A Photographer
Scott was fond of photography, and oftentimes elected to be the one to t a ke pictures and had to be coerced to be in one. On vacations and trips , h e'd be the one to document everything and everyone .
He and his wife were having a date night one night in Portland and wande r ed into an outdoor banquet for an artists' convention. Recognizing a fr e e meal and a golden opportunity, Scott grabbed an unclaimed name-tag a n d sat down with a group of artists and began to chat. His wife, Caryn , wa s mortified, and practically shaking in terror at the prospect of be ing c aught in a bold-faced lie. Scott, however, was making friends wit h all th e other artists. When asked what his medium was, he claimed phot ography . After enjoying a steak dinner and the company of pretentious Po rtland a rtists, he left them for the night with the promise that he'd se e them th e next day at the art gala. Needless to say, Scott and Caryn we re not i n attendance.
Scott also loved taking pictures of nature. One time, he and his wife we r e visiting their son, JR, daughter-in-law, and baby granddaughter who h a d just moved to California. His daughter-in-law, Katie, was looking fo r s omething they could do as a family, and so she decided to take a fami ly t rip to Yosemite. They were driving through the park and tensions wer e hig h as Scott had forgotten to pack a lunch. To make matters worse, Sc ott in sisted on stopping the car every time he saw a beautiful vista t o the poi nt that several park rangers would approach them and say that t hey neede d to keep moving as they were holding up traffic. But Scott go t to take n ice pictures, so that's what matters.
