If you’re standin’ in the photo pit of many a Blues festival, chances are Dusty Scott is shootin’ next to you. Accompanying him and taking the wide angle shots is wife,Val. When the shootin’ is done, Dusty is quick to develop and Val systematically publishes the images in a festival slideshow on their website, www.dustyblues.com. Blues fans from around the world visit the site to check on their favorite artist or festival. What distinguishes the Scotts are their contributions to aspiring Blues artists and their behind- the-scenes activities in support of festival promoters. After a Blues event, they are often the go-to photographers to send a photo to a sponsor the next day or a magazine as it prepares to promote the event the following year. Their photographs can be found on the covers of magazines like Blues Revue or Two’j Blues, as well as on CD & DVD covers. They actively contribute to various society newsletters and band promotion banners.
