The Scott Baxter Photo That Captures The No BS Look

 November 3, 2025

   I am proud to say that the legendary Arizona photographer, Scott Baxter, came out to the Triple B Studio last summer and shot the hell out of me in the studio and on the grounds around the bunkhouse. He was on assignment from the Arizona Historymakers and the photo shoot was for the program at the induction ceremony last weekend and his photos of me will also be in the permanent installation at the Historical Society Museum in Tempe.

   Scott brought a big-ol'-slab of plywood with him which he and his assistant set up on the back patio, then proceeded to attach about 45-50 of my hat collection to the plywood. Then, they sat me in front of it.

Scott also shot me working at my art desk.

   This next photo, by Scott, captures a certain look I give when I am accosted by know-it-alls. . .

Hey, Ese, Cut The BS

   Or, as the Old Vaqueros are fond of putting it. . .

"You sure know a lot for being so damn dumb."
