Today Kennedy Photo Works flourishes and as Scott's eye finds training, both read, formal and sometimes in friendship with many of the best photographers around:  John Shaw, Ron Reznick, David Meunch and the late Galen Rowell. Scott continues to shape images from start to finish. He operates a Nikon digital slr camera, and shoots the majority of his photographs with an 85mm lens.
