TO SEE ALL THE PHOTOS
by Scott Umstattd
I remember looking through catalogs as a kid and being fascinated with cameras and lenses. I would either become a baseball player or an international adventure photographer or maybe an artist ten year-old me determined.
I played baseball in college and also studied art and that is where both of those pursuits ended. I did, however, become a photographer. As such I saw parts of the world that are not on any travel agent’s speadsheet and that is adventurous enough.
I moved to San Miguel five years ago and started taking fashion photos somewhat by accident. That is when I started to combine documentary photography with fashion, models and art. I soon found that it was a great combination, allowing for free movement on the part of the models, which gave me the chance to capture unscripted, natural moments.

Unseen Unity was followed by our Summer Solstice gathering in el Centro. A group of unsuspecting souls agreed to dress “expressively” with either a black or a white dominant wardrobe. We shot improvisationally at night throughout el Centro, stopping traffic and turning a few heads along our way.
We moved the next art happening to Timmyland in Atotonilco. Owner Tim Sullivan gave us the ok to use his very unique abode as a backdrop for what we called Future World.
After the Future World experience everyone agreed that it should be done again and done bigger - whatever that means.
If you want to know what that means, we are having our next event The Future World Art Happening on Saturday, March 3 at Timmyland in Atotonilco. We hope to see you out there. You can learn more about it and register for the event here:
