A Great Day With Author, Roger Kahn.
I spent a very enjoyable day last week with author, Roger Kahn. Hilarious baseball stories, memorabilia, good scotch and poinient memories were plentiful. My ride home was made easy by a signed copy of his recorded book, "The Boys of Summer." My favorite quote shared was from Dodger pitcher, "Preacher" Roe. "Live each day as [...]
So It Looks Like I’m In The Beauty Business.
Several times a week I walk with a friend and his dog and we talk. His focus is on health care and changing a broken system. He is an advocate for the elderly. I am a friendly guy who puts people at ease and helps them to look their best. I capture the essence of [...]
Lenox 020811
I woke up to a gentle snowfall that became a blizzard by the time I got into my car. These shots were all taken within a mile of my home. The ice was shot from my bedroom windows when the sun came out for a few minutes. Does anyone remember the movie "Ice Station Zebra?" [...]

Why I Always Have A Camera: Rainbow Of A Lifetime.
It is not often that you are sure that something is the best that you have ever seen. On November 8th I had that experience. There had been rain off and on all that afternoon and just before sunset everything opened up and magic went wild. I grabbed my wife, Karen and said, "I have [...]
Arthur Penn, Scott Barrow, Clyde Barrow and Coffee with Irving
Arthur Penn died this week. Bonnie and Clyde made quite an impression on me and so I was excited when I was the photographer asked to shoot Arthur at his duplex off of Central Park West for Berkshire Living Magazine. Directors can have very large egos and are not always easy to work with, but [...]
New Jersey Tourism Chooses Scott Barrow’s Image for 2010 Travel Guide
What many people don't realize is that I have had a long love affair and as it turns out a distinguished career with the "Garden State". It all began with trips to Bay Head on the Jersey Shore when my wife, Karen and I were living in the City (New York). In the early 80's [...]
Scott Barrow Installs "Time Pieces" at Fidelity Investments, Boston
My "Time Pieces" series will be on display at Fidelity Investments in Boston for the month of May. In addition to these images a collection of Berkshire landscapes and portraits from my work with Berkshire Living Magazine has been installed in the creative offices there. The main lobby area of the show is available to the public and the secret to gaining admittance is to look presentable and to smile sweetly at Christine, the executive gate keeper. Fidelity is located at 200 Seaport Boulevard on the upper concourse in Suite 300, Boston, MA. The concept of "time" is the focus of the lobby images and my thanks go out to Kris Truta for letting me "borrow" her watch faces for over a year while I played with my ideas and to all who helped to install this show. And of course to the creative staff at Fidelity for being my audience during the month of May.
