Komo's Michelle Esteban authored up a good read on Mr. Scurlock. I think it is fair to say that most of the TAY crowd are familiar with John and his photography. Good for John for getting some public credit for his work, I know that his photographs have been useful to me when scouting out locations in the Cascades.

Excerpt:
"You can't help but look around from time to time and realize how fortunate you are," marvels Scurlock, a paramedic by day and pilot-photographer in his off-hours.

He admits it took a lot of practice to fly a plane and snap great photographs. He credits practice from making mistakes, and his sharp-shooting Canon 5D Mark 2. "I've made every mistake there is," said Scurlock. "I love to fly. I'd fly every single day if I could."

What began with this simple question, "Hey what's that down there?", has evolved into a new passion, glacier hunting. Climbers tag summits, Scurlock tags glaciers by photographing them from the air.

"I've tried to photograph every glacier in the lower 48 states"
