The Rogue River Review

Photographer W. Scott Frazeur Humbly claimed that his first exhibit held on November 20 at the Josephine County Fairgrounds was a Project four years in the making, but one look at the display can testify that it was more like a lifetime.

In the forefront were early images Frazeur snapped as a Navy photographer 40 years ago. Aerial shots of ships plowing the ocean and planes caught in mid-flight led to weddings, the antics of local wildlife and Grants Pass as seen from a frazeur angle- high above the earth floating level with the clouds.

The exhibit was a success and those who attended were content to munch cookies and discuss the merits and memories provoked by each image. frazeur has a knack for capturing the quirky side of life as illustrated in his photos of babies and pets, but he has a serious side too, and the military machines Frazeur shot while sitting cramped in an aircraft nose cone 10 to 12 hours a day have an eerie austerity about them. Like ghosts, the images rise from a not so distant past.

There were about a hundred photos at the exhibit, and Frazeur has now launched a worldwide search via the internet to find the subject of one of his personal favorites. He photographed 19-year-old famed European flamenco dancer Maria and has wondered for many years what became of her after their meeting. He's hoping to find her and shoot pictures of her one more time to bring the story full circle.

Frazeur continues to work on his skill as official photographer for the Grants Pass Chamber of Commerce, and many hope that this single exhibit isn't the last they'll hear of him and his work.

The Sneak Preview

KLUNKERS to the lack of publicity given the exhibit showing W. Scott Frazeur's photographic wonders at the Fairgrounds recently. Hope you were one of the fortunate who saw it.

I found your web page at last and we liked the photos very much. I liked the subs and aircraft. Those are shots that most photographers never have the chance to take your web page is nice but seeing your photos in person was much better. Thank you for the invitation. How many photographers can take a photo of a nuclear sub head on under full power. The aerial photos to were very clear and detailed. Judy, my wife liked the wedding photos and the animals. She likes to take still photos. But only for her own enjoyment. We have shot a lot of video in the last fifteen years but still photography captures the moment in time were video goes right on with something else. I hope we have the opportunity to work together in the future.

I recently saw the photo exhibition of Scott Frazeur's work in Grants Pass, at the County Fairgrounds. I was drawn to it by the ad that said it covered a span of 40 years, and included Scott's service in the Navy. Since my own length of time spent in photography approximates that of Scott's, I was interested to see how he looked at life with camera in hand.

So I just went with an open mind, without preconceived ideas or expectations, and I truly enjoyed the show very much. His animal pictures with humorous captions, set the tone for the show. Lighthearted and straightforward glimpses of reality, as Scott saw things that occurred in his life. Besides the animal pictures, I liked the shot of a submarine surfacing, especially since it caused me to wonder where the photographer was perched when he took the photo. Or was he hanging from some "sky hooks"? Other shots were aerial views, a number of them taken here in the Rogue Valley.

The prints on display were of good quality, which you can see is important to Scott, and overall the pictures were uncomplicated, much as I have found Scott Frazeur to be in my brief meeting with him.

P.S. It's a show you can safely take your entire family to enjoy.
