Bio

The son of a soldier, Scott Miller grew up on various US Army posts. After a few good years at Idaho State University, he earned a BA in History from Arizona State University in 1988. In 2006, he began studies in photography at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA. With 23 rainy gray Puget Sound winters to his credit, he is pleased as punch to again be living in the Rocky Mountain West.

Statement

Through most of my life I’ve lived in the American West. Leaving one place for another, returning later, then forward and back, I have been both charmed and dismayed by transformations of the Western landscape. Always, however, that landscape captivates me.
 
The camera is as much a tool of History as a tool of Art. Through the lens I’ve sought to capture and convey my fascination with the West and the structures of transformation there.
