long ago when i lived in san francisco and hadn’t even hit 30, i worked with a wonderful woman named kathy scott. life took her back to chicago and though we at some point lost touch,  kathy found me online some years ago. that reconnect brought me back to her amazing kindness, beautiful handwriting and perfect sense of humor. it also introduced me for the first time to her photography, mostly black and white, purely street in content and capture. people are beginning to stand up and take notice, and with good reason. kathy’s gift for grabbing the spontaneous in a perfect frame flattens me. i have spent so much time contemplating her images…every time i go back to one it is as if i am seeing it for the first time, and i am compelled all over again.
