The Economy

I was just thinking that maybe it is up to us to stimulate the economy! I know some of us have great capabilities in that area. One of my long time friends could probably correct the economy entirely on her own with only one trip to the mall!

So ladies!! It is up to us to get this economy charged up!! Let's help President Obama!

Seriously, I overhead a conversation at the thrift store(that is where I go shopping for purses..here in Lakeway Texas the ladies get rid of designer handbags after they are just a tiny bit used). Anyhow a discussion was taking place on letting the business cycle run it's course. Meaning no stimulus packages but tax cuts so people and the business cycle can be naturally stimulated with comsumer spending. hmmm

I do believe the economy is hurting in every area. It is a tough ride for us independent business owners. L A Scott Photography is hanging on with all it's might! I believe through these times we need to exceed expections on every level and work three times as hard at doing that! That is what I am doing!

Remember me for your photography needs here in Lakeway, Austin, Texas and the outlying areas...Round Rock, Marblefalls, Bee Cave, Cedar Park, Burnet, Wimberley...I even go as far as Dallas! I do all types of photography- event, promotional,publicity,wedding,product,website,portraiture, business card photos! I also sell my fine art photography!

Product Photography--Still Life vs. Live Photography

Hi all! Another week is drawing to a close. Busy week! The election is over ... now we can concentrate on something else! My topic today is Still Life photography. While in Northern Vietnam I took the attached shot at a roadside stand. I love taking photos of natural beauty. I am sure when setting up shop they did not intend for the display to be eye catching but it did catch my eye. I took several shots like this one of goods for sale all over Northern Vietnam. Product photography in a sense. Product and website photography is creative. I enjoy doing it and have done quite a bit professionally. The subjects are quite "still" which is good but live subjects give me the advantage of catching animated expression. My style in the studio with live subjects as many of my clients know...is to talk and make them feel at ease. Then I click away and capture personality. It is almost like you catch the twinkle in the subject's eye. Attached you will find one still life and one image of Sam Watkins that I believe shows personality. Check out his website for more pictures and give a listen to his music! http://www.samwatkinscountry.com/ It is worth your while! Love to all of you!LA:)

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!
