Owning a Business as a Woman....hmmmm

Hi all!

I am thinking of changing my name to Larry Ann or perhaps Larry Aron ...what do you all think? That way I would still be able to keep my domain http://www.lascottphotography.com/

For all you women and men out there....what are your opinions on this. I was told awhile back by a man who owns a business that it is tough being a woman in business. I thought....no way...we have come a long way! Time will tell and it did !!

It all started when I did an artist's booth at a festival of 10,000 people. I traveled the world alone in the last couple of years to capture the images on my website and in my files. I stood in my booth for two days straight while a numer of people came through asking where Larry Scott was or the man who took the photos. I was taken back. At first I thought it was myimagination....but not after the upteenth time....wake up Lori Ann! Maybe they did not burn enough bras in the sixties....hmmmm

Just a musing on this election day Tuesday! Get out and vote everyone!

Looking for a Place to Exhibit my Vietnam Series of Photography

Hi all!

As most of you know I went to Vietnam as the official photography for Good Samaritan Medical Ministry in July of 2008. It was a mission that took us to the Northern part of Vietnam giving medical aide. It was an incredible experience that Dr. Vien Doan heads up each year for the last nine years. www.gsmedicalministry.org Please check it out and donate if you can! Also, prayers are needed!

As a result of being the photographer I accumulated many many photos. There is a particular series that I call "The Hope" series that I am looking to exhibit in a gallery or otherwise. Some of the images I am featuring in "The Hope" series are featured on the banner for the home page of www.gsmedicalministry.org There is an incredible story to be told with the images. If anyone out there knows of an art gallery that would be interested please contact me. Please click on the link I gave to see examples of my work there.

Sincerely,
Lori Ann

The Holidays are Approaching Fast!!

Hey Everyone! Clients, friends and family! Halloween is over! What fun it was!

The holidays are approaching and if you need pictures for your holiday cards or portraits to give as a gift call me now for a sitting! My prices are reasonable! I also photograph events ... think about it if you are the host/hostess the last thing you want to be doing is taking pictures. For an hourly rate I can do that for you and give those images to you on a CD after the event. I have done many events from weddings to birthday parties to an event with the governor. Candid shots are wonderful to have after an event. I am available during the holidays even on Christmas and Thanksgiving day! Remember L A Scott Photography for your photography needs! www.lascottphotography.com

Hi All! The beauty of being a photographer is hardly ever getting photographed myself! It gives me a certain amount of control....maybe passive aggressive ??? who knows. Anyhow, the attached photo was taken with me included with my camera but by somebody else. I recently discovered this photo while sorting through the entire lot of Vietnam photos...~~~2000 photos. This one resonates with me. I remember as a participant on this trip how I felt on the inside at times....on the inside looking out that is...but after looking at this photo I see from the outside looking in at myself and what was going on at the moment. The little guy in the photo was about my son's age and his parents were carrying him around on their backs because there were no means to have a wheelchair. I watched them carry him with so much love. He has cerebral palsy. I inquired and found out that I could sponsor a wheelchair and I did. His parents were so happy--the mom was tearful. We worked with a translator to in order to tell them about the wheelchair and that is when this photo was taken. I remember that instance of looking up at the translator while my eyes were welling with tears. I look at this photo now, all these months later, and the same tears come. Vietnam had a profound effect on me. I struggle a part of each day wishing I could do more. www.gsmedicalministry.org Lotsa love to all of you and HAPPY HALLOWEEN! LA:)

My Bucket List !

Hi all!

How many of you out there actually have a bucket list! I do! I had one way before Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson in "The Bucket List!" I started mine when I turned 40(that was just a little while ago--ya right like 7 years ago!) I include things I have already done and then add more that I want to do as I think of them! I am proud to say I have crossed off many of them.

Those include: a tattoo, started a business in photography services, sang in a recital 2 times and am about to do it again, trekked to Machu Picchu and took many photos, Trinidad/Tobago, Tuscany Italy, South Africa to Kruger National Park, took sculling lessons, took salsa lessons, went to Northern Vietnam on a medical mission www.gsmedicalministry.org , Ireland, China, South Vietnam, Belize Central America, ran a marathon in Arizona, bottom of the Grand Canyon on Mules, deep sea fishing in Mexico, and a helicopter ride inside a volcano in Hawaii.

Things I still want to do: sky dive, hot air balloon ride, play polo on horseback, sing with a band(just once), drive the entire length of route 66 in my 2005 Tunderbird, learn to fence with my son, and learn to tie flies and to fly fish. And, I want to raise a longhorn steer(hence the photo taken by me LA Scott Photography!

I think we all should have a bucket list. We only have one life to live and the bucket kicking thing is a reality! So let's take all the things that are filling up that bucket and dump them out---the bottles of beer, the couch potato arse, reality television and that gallon of ice cream! Let's empty it out and not worry about kicking it----just living it! Lori Ann Scott www.lascottphotography.com

So Austin!

Hi friends, family and clients! We are so fortunate to live in such a diverse place as Austin. I was looking through my picture files looking for inspiration for today's newsletter and voila!

Sometimes we forget how wonderful this place is to live until we step back and take a look...whether it is through a camera lens or with our own eyes~~~ Look at what I see!! Take a "look" around and see all there is to see!!! and have a wonderful weekend!
