Scott Peterson Photography

Scott Peterson Photography Scott is a photographer based in Escanaba, Michigan. My passion for photography began in the mid-1980s when I joined the U.S. Scott

His work captures the charm of small towns, historic buildings, and rural life in America—often in black and white. Air Force and purchased my first camera—a Pentax Super Program. At the time, photography was a hobby, and I found joy in capturing the beauty of sights and moments. Throughout my life, I’ve always loved having a camera in hand, documenting cherished memories—from my daughters growing

up and their activities to family adventures, travels and now my grandchildren. Over time, I expanded my photography interests, venturing into senior portraits and wedding photography. I thoroughly enjoyed those years of capturing life's most special milestones. Additionally, I had the privilege of teaching photography classes at Bay College, where I worked closely with students and especially loved our live photo shoots. Today, my approach to photography is more selective. I find fulfillment exploring the woods or city streets with my camera, as well as spending weekends backpacking or cycling with my wife. Thank you for visiting my page. If you’re interested in purchasing a print, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to assist. While I no longer cover as many events as I once did, I do occasionally make exceptions for special occasions. If you’re interested in joining me on a photo walk or planning a photo adventure, let me know—I’d love to collaborate. And always remember: photography is about light, and the best camera is the one you have with you.

This large gear that looks like it was used to wind up rope for boats sits behinds the Escanaba Sand Point Lighthouse. I'm not sure how it actually worked but it does make for a nice B&W picture. 😁

Thank you Laura Wurtinger for letting me know about the Inland Sea's vistiting Escanaba. She's definitely a beauty and the trip down in the morning to capture some photos was well worth it. Also thanks to the Inland Seas Education Association crew for posting for some pics and answering my questions!

I was driving around some country backroads and saw this International dump truck sitting out in a field. It looks like it has been through the ringer but I love photographing these old trucks!

Two of my favorite things to photograph - Farms and Barns!  The cows are just a bonus.  😁

How well do you know your U.P. towns?  Can you name the city where this street is located?

I was lucky enough to visit two of the most iconic bridges in the US the past month. The Mighty Mackinac Bridge in Michigan and the Golden Gate in San Francisco. The Golden Gate is taller and wider and opened in 1937 but the Mighty Mac is much longer at 5 miles long vs 1.7 for the Golden Gate. Both are engineering marvels and awesome in their own way. However, being a Yooper from Upper Michigan the Mighty Mac wins in by just a little bit in my opinion. 😁
