Scott Thomas

Scott has been an avid photographer for over 30 years. It's been his personal goal to try and find the spirit of what he is seeing whether that spirit is found traveling around the world or simply walking about his home town in upstate New York. He holds a wildlife management degree from the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry and is currently an IT Manager for a manufacturer in Syracuse. Besides photography, I enjoy reading, writing, nature, travel and sports.
