Happy New Year!!

The New Limited Edition Prints Page will be published in early January - I think your really going to dig it, there's going to be a lot of killer images for you to choose from...

All of the photos for the book have been chosen (it took me forever!) - I can't wait to finish it and get it out there for you guys to check out...

I just added a new Bela Fleck & the Flecktones gallery - Have a look look when you get a minute...

On the web: www.fishbone.net is using some of my photos in there gallery on the site - It's great to see them back on-line again with the new site design and new management for the band - 2005 is going to be the year of the Bone! my early prediction.

Check the tour dates section and if there coming to your neck of the woods go and see them (they still rock shit live!)

The band also re-released Fishbone "The Reality of my Surroundings" on DVD - If you've seen the VHS it's basically the same thing nothing new added, it's just cool to have on DVD - They've also released Fishbone "Critical Times" the Henhouse Sessions (the band isn't supporting this release - but you gotta check it out anyway) - It's got some great footage of the band in the studio with there 99 thru 2002 line-up Spacey T (now gone), John McKnight (gone), Walt (gone - this sucks!) , John Steward, Wood and Angelo...you get a glimpse of the band working on new tracks and lots of interview footage - There's also some wicked studio footage with Trulio Disgracias and Angelo doing his Dr. Maddvibe thing...It's definetley worth the loot...Ok that's enough of me plugging the Bone...

You also need to cop Miles - "Electric" this is easlily the tightest dvd I've copped in ages...His complete 38 minute perfomance @ the historic "Isle of Wight" concert - This is the first DVD to be released that captures Miles transformation into the highly talked about "electric" period...there are some really wonderful interviews with Santana, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea etc etc...lots of extras (you'll love it if your a fan of his Bitches Brew album)

*segway* Ok I'm going to shift gears a minute - Ya know when nature does things like this it really has me just stop and spend some time thinking about how fragile and beautiful life is (it's corny) but enjoy your life and be a positive/beautiful person - My prayers and thoughts go out to all of the people & children who have passed on and all of those helping out in the Tsunami tragedy (god bless) - please do what you can on your end to help out...

Stay Well
Scott =)

I've finally got a new gallery up for you to check out (Nonpoint - amazing live band! there new album is really f***ing good - go cop it - SUPPORT!)

Jeez it's been over a month since I've put any new photos up (I've been super busy with other projects (*cough*-my book-*cough*)

Anyway, I'm going to be adding more new galleries in the next week and some new photos to already existing galleries (wait tell you see these shots - fuhgedaboutit)

If your seeing a watermark on some of the older photos ie: "Scott Stewart (c) url: www.elementzofsoul.net - That was the 1st version of www.scottstewartphotos.com - I'm in the process of cleaning those photos up on the site...

btw if your thinking about going to see Blade 3 - DON'T!

My book is coming along nicely...there are soooo many photos to choose from...I'm hoping everything is completed and I can release it the 1st of the year in January - After much debate and me changing my mind every 5-freaking seconds (ADD is a beautiful thing - people keep telling me there's drugs for this lol) - I've decided to name it "BUY THIS BOOK DAMMIT!" actually I've opted for "Eye Contact" who knows I might change my mind and call it something else next week...

I'll keep the site updated with progress on this project...

Stay Well
Scott =)

I am completely speachless @ the events that unfolded in Ohio last night...this is very sad

The world & the Metal genre has lost an amazing person & guitar player...

I had the opportunity to meet Darrell a number of years ago when he was on tour with Pantera. They were supporting the "Vulgar Display of Power" album. He was the most laid back mellow dude, very gracious and funny as hell...

This was a horrible censeless act of violence...

My thoughts & prayers go out to ALL of the families and friends involved in this atrocity...

peace & blessings

Ok let me answer this finally since so many have been asking...

NO I'm not related to the brilliant jazz photographer "Chuck Stewart" - He is amazing and I do love his work...Of course his images have inspired me to work harder but that's it...

*segway*

A new Fish Eye Lens...

I would also love to go on tour working on assignment so HIRE ME!!! lol

Ok, so dig this...

I'm going to be updating the "Limited Edition Prints" page (again)

Short Story: The company who is currently handling my prints for me is not going to be able to provide you with the quality image that you deserve and are paying for...so I'm going to be printing the images myself...

I will be adding a new page in the merch section with specific details, images and prices shortly...

Thanks! =)

I've added a few limited edition prints to the merch page - Have a look when you get a minute - If there's a particular image your interested in shoot me an e-mail and let me know...

Wow! I'm blown away @ your response to the Jazz Calendar (it's only been available for a few days and I've already had a ton of e-mails on it)

Over the next few weeks I will also be adding Framed Prints to the merchandise page - If your not seeing a specific image that you want please e-mail me and let me know the specifics and we'll work it out...

At this time I'm not going to be offering any other Calendars maybe in the future I'll add a hip/hop or rock Calendar...

Cheers
Scott

I am very pleased to announce the very 1st edition of Scott Stewart Photography's 2005 Jazz Calendar.

Available now on my merch page...

This limited edition calendar has a myriad of Jazz artists, some from the old school and some of the younger genre's very gifted and talented musicians...

To name a few that made the cut: Sonny Rollins, Maynard Ferguson, Greg Osby, James Carter, Russell Gunn, Bobby McFerrin & Jack DeJohnette, Jeremy Pelt etc etc.

This Calendar took a great deal of time and preparation (coffee & diet cokes) to put together and I want to thank my web site designer Jeff Gerew for all of his hardwork - Dude you are a very gifted cat!! (Go Sabres!)

Enjoy!

Go and see "Afro Punk" if you have the opportunity - This is an amazing movie Directed by James Spooner - The link www.afropunk.com

I'm not mad @ him for not using any of my photos for the movie! He should have damn it! - It's screening in a few cities across the country....

Bjork's new album "Medulla" is absolutely brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!

www.bjork.com

Hey,

Just wanna say what's up and thanks for all of the e-mails and interest your showing in the "limited edition" calenders that are going be up on the merch page soon - I'm still working out the details and going through concepts and images (there's sooooo many to choose from)

Trust me your going to love them..so keep posted.

You must if you haven't already go cop the new De La Soul album (The Grind Date) it's the best thing they've done since "Stakes is High" without a doubt...

I've finally had a chance to publish a Celldweller gallery have a look when you get a minute...

Ok I've gotta bounce I'm going to shoot Calvin Richardson

Peace & Blessings

Oh btw FUCK BUSH he's a LIAR!!!

Hey,

I'm adding a merch page to the site really soon - Lots of cool stuff just in time for the Holiday Season =)

There will be Polo's, T-Shirts, Mousepads, Lunch Boxes (all the cool kids are gonna have these!), mugs, stickers, messenger bags etc...

I'm also debating on doing a very limited edition run of Calenders with some of my images on them...I was thinking of breaking it up into artists from a specific genre ie: a jazz calender, hip-hop calender, rock calender etc...this is still being worked out more details to follow...

Stay Well
Scott =)

What's Up (hope your all doing well!)

I went and saw one of my favorite bands on the planet last night www.celldweller.com - They were mind blowing! There such a great live band - They should be fucking HUGE! and will be someday (actually they should stay a cult favorite, if they got huge and everybody listened to them I probably wouldn't dig them anymore lol) - My only beef with the show was that it should have been @ another venue - They played @ a shitty little local club and there type of live performance needs to be seen on a big stage with a ton of lights and smoke machines, and lots of room for them to jump around - I took a few rolls of film @ the gig so as soon as I get my film back from the lab I'll publish a new gallery - If your scratching your head going who the fuck is www.celldweller.com ?? Check out there site and get hip - Trust me if you have ears and an open mind you'll dig them (there brilliant!! & super nice guys)

For those inquiring via e-mail in regards to prints and availability of some images - Please have a look on the home page @ the bottom there is a Copyright tab "click" on that and look for the "limited edition prints page" that will give you the scoop...

e-mail me if you have any ?'s =^)>

Later

Added some G-Love photos to the site - Have a look when you get a minute...

Later
SS =)

Hey,

I'm taking some time to do promo photos for bands and if you need any headshots done for modeling give me a shout - I'm also available to do tours on assignment and I will cover any event for your zine if the $$ is right...HIRE ME! =)

You can get the relevant contact info on the site...

p.s. I don't shoot Weddings!! (yes I've had people ask) - That's not my thing, have a look in your local paper or on-line and I'm sure you can find someone who is willing to take pictures @ your wedding & charge you an obscene amount of money for a few hours of his time...

btw I've added a few galleries to the site:

Carl Thomas

&

Impromp 2

peace

Sup,

I've been slacking on my Blog entrees lately - I'll have a lil more time to post now that my schedules not as insane, so I'll be talking more shit...

So dig this, I just got the 20g iPOD in the mail over the weekend - I ordered it on line through Apple...they throw in an engraving on the back (optional) you also get headphones, firewire etc... I gotta say this "The iPOD is the F*****g bomb!" - I loaded it up this weekend with 40 of my favorite albums and still have a TON of space for photos, spreadsheets...whateva! - Now I've never been a big fan of the downloading thing, I'm prolly one of the only people left who still buys there music *shrugs* - Ya know I just really dig going to my favorite local INDIE wrecka sto and looking through the used bins or going to cop that must have new release on the Tuesday when it drops...The best is when you spend a few hours looking through old vinyl and you find those rare out of print albums that no one has a clue about (and they only cost you a few dollars) that's a huge rush - I'm a BIG FAN of VINYL and none of that re-issued crap, they have to be originals - Anyway, the thing that has me so jazzed about the iPOD is that I can take just about all of my albums with me anywhere I go and there right @ my fingertips - It's a beautiful thing! - I'm debating I might even sign up for emusic.com they give you like 60 songs for $14.00 a month *shrugs* we'll see...

I finally got a chance to see Underworld this weekend - This is one of those flicks I wanted to catch in the theatres when it was out but never made it...Cool movie, some of the fight seens were blah, but overall I dug it - The sequel should be intense...

Check out the Moments in Grace gallery - I just published it last night - There new album "Moonlight Survived" has some of the best vocals I've heard in eons...Great band more here ---> www.momentsingrace.com

New Mastodon gallery added - Also updated the Fear Factory & Calvin Richardson galleries with new photos...

Look for a gallery with more of my abstract photos to be published on the web page soon - I think you'll find some of the images interesting...

Later
