Long before I started posting trip and hiking photos on my flickr account, I designed websites for my annual trips. After awhile, I started posting them at scottspics.com, where they resided for years. After really embracing flickr however, I dropped the scottspics domain and tossed them over to pics.rscottjones.com to consolidate. However, it’s long been a goal to get them all in one place, and that place recently became my flickr account.

Unfortunately, most of the nearly 2500 photos I just finished transferring are, at best 800×600 resolution (blame early digital cameras and a photo gallery script that forced consistency), but they’re still some of my favorites, like the above shoot of a deer grazing at Hurricane Ridge.

It will undoubtedly take some time to properly organize and tag these photos, but I’m happy to have them finally all in one place.

November 19, 2011

5. Rufus Arizona, UA’s first live wildcat mascot, hung himself from a tree limb on April 17, 1916—just months after being purchased as the school’s mascot. I suspect he was suicidal after he learned the story of how the university adopted the wildcats nickname. 4. In 1885, when the 13th Territorial Legislature awarded Tucson the University [...]

Steve Jobs has some advice for you

October 6, 2011

Steve Jobs died today. I’m not usually a fan of corporate behemoths, but there was always something special about the way Apple—no, make that Steve Jobs—went about changing the world. You don’t need much more proof of the impact he had on the tech industry, or last generation or two, or the world today than [...]
