From the Mind of JScott

If there's one thing out there that I love to do as much as if not more than photography it's speaking to others about photography. I love to try to inspire others to really invest their time and energy into photography and perhaps a lifelong career in a photography related field. So when I was contacted recently about speaking to University of Northern Iowa photojournalism students I jumped at the opportunity. I didn't have much time to really think about it as I was asked about an hour before the class met. Short notice or not, this was too awesome to pass up. During the class I presented some examples of my work and discussed how I got to where I'm at now. I stressed that my talents didn't come overnight nor is photography as glamorous as it appears in movies or on TV; there is a lot of work involved, especially before and after a shoot/event. While this was a photojournalism class I also shared with them some of my portrait work and other work from ot

Nothing like some good ol' fashioned designs to get you ready for a big state tournament basketball game! I made these late Wednesday night to amp up the MFL-MarMac crowd and get them ready for their big showdown with West Fork. If you'd like to use them on Facebook or Twitter, feel free to download them to your computer and upload them to either.

This is the third installment of my feature on Bride's Corner in Waterloo, IA . I wanted to make sure to share something very awesome to anyone in need of that perfect dress for their big day. Bride's Corner offers a V.I.B. Program. Yes, that's no typo. That's V. I. B. For "Very Important Bride". This program was created to make sure that you get the very best shopping experience when trusting Bride's Corner to find your wedding gown. "At Bride's Corner our main goal is to provide superior customer service and fashionable gowns to make your dream day perfect!" says the guide outlining the V.I.B. program. "We have been at it for years and love what we do! We are sure you will too!" The best part about shopping at Bride's Corner is while they hope to offer the widest and most current trends in wedding dresses, if they don't happen to have what you're looking for they'll do whatever it takes to

The moment was inevitable. The season was going to have to come to an end at some point. And while this ending included a trophy, it wasn't quite the one the players had wanted to hoist above their heads. With a 59-44 loss yesterday, the 2012-13 Maquoketa Valley girls basketball team secured its spot as one of the top-four basketball teams in the state in Class 2A. It's understandable that the Wildcats probably wanted to finish even higher! Maquoketa Valley finished its season 20-6. The team that beat them yesterday, Lawton-Bronson, will now face No. 1 ranked and defending champion Western Christian (25-1) for the title at 6 pm on Friday. OK, onto something more positive! =) To the players and coaching staff from JScott Images,  CONGRATULATIONS on an awesome season including your trip to the state tournament!!  I want to personally thank the players, the coaching staff, the parents and the fans for embracing me as much
