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.

You asked for more of the '58 Apache at Rosy's — so here's the rest of the set of this cool truck. Confession: I'm a black-and-white shooter at heart, but this turquoise patina demanded color. So you get both this time.

1958 was the first year for the Apache nameplate, the Fleetside bed, and those quad headlights. And yes — that's Rosy's Diner hiding in the hubcap.

A downtown walk in one of our charming Delta County towns. Armed with just a single 40mm prime lens, there were photo opportunities around every corner. From Dairy Flo to Saunders, downtown Gladstone has so much local character and history to offer.

What's your favorite downtown hangout?

A full gallery from the roadside line-up on Bay Shore Dr and Days River Rd. From the classic red International paint to the grit of the old Farmall details in B&W, this location has so much character.

Does vintage iron like this look better to you in classic B&W or bold red?

Found these classic Interesting tractors sitting on the corner of Bay Shore Dr and Days River Rd. Black and white felt like the best choice for a scene like this — Nikon Zf and Voigtländer 40mm f/1.2.

Anybody know the story behind these?

A few more frames from a great local discovery—the Gladstone Sail School. What a fantastic setup for introducing both kids and adults to sailing on the Great Lakes!

Even as a primarily dedicated black-and-white shooter, sometimes color is a great option. These little overturned hulls resting along the shore in Gladstone look fantastic either way, but I definitely have a favorite.

Color or Black & White—what’s your vote?

Finding a new angle on a familiar landmark. Exploring the lesser-seen side of the Escanaba Dam today. Plenty of history and light to capture down here. I think I'll be back again!

North Sheridan Road has so much character—a true mix of classic neighborhood bars, long-standing businesses, and quiet, closed-down storefronts.

Wouldn't it be incredible to see some of these empty spaces renovated and brought back to life?

What business would you love to see move into one of these spots?
