ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Anza Borrego California, view from Fonts Point near sunset.
I had heard of this place called Fonts Point in the Anza Borrego state park that I was told I needed to go. When I got there I was warned to not take the road in without four wheel drive. Instead just pull to the side of the highway and hike the four miles in. Well, there really wasn't anywhere to pull over. I believed in my car and I took a chance. It was scary at times, getting towed out of this mess did not appeal to me, but as I got closer I could see the potential. I needed to push on to capture these images that were starting to flood my mind. Finally, after the longest four miles of my life I saw the end and was blessed with a beautiful late afternoon to sunset shoot with nature in all her beauty.

AUTHOR
Hello! My name is Scott Elgram.
I was born in Northern California but grew up in Southern California. As a kid, my parents ran a string of photo labs in the area and abroad but I never picked up a camera. I guess the timing just wasn’t right.
As I grew up I developed a passion for music, joined in a couple of bands, did some tours and contributed to an album or two. After that had run its course I turned to something I knew I was good at…computers. The next twelve years of my life were spent as a software engineer working the nine-to-five grind with everyone else. Then, at the whim of a dear friend, I discovered yoga and started to feel the pull of the universe toward something different.
A year later I met an amazing woman who handed me a camera and said “Take a picture”. There was confusion and apprehension but when that shutter clicked everything became clear and I knew what needed to be done.
As an Eagle Scout I am an avid outdoors-man, conservationist and general lover of nature. There is beauty in this world everywhere I look. With a camera in my hand I try to capture that beauty every chance I get and share it with the world.
