American Elegy Interview

"With a camera like that [a Leica 35mm rangefinder] you don’t believe you’re in the masterpiece business. It’s enough to be able to peck at the world."

    "So happy to have met Scott through flickr, although, I wished I would have met him before moving away from Portland. I love coming to his stream and seeing what he's managed to snag from the world. I love seeing the city that I know and love through his eyes. I hope to meet him face to face soon. This is a place to keep coming back to."

    "kingqueenknave is one of my favorite flickr photographers. He is one of a handful of people who captures the automobile in a unique and interesting way, just about every time. He really puts some life into everything and everyone he captures, whether it's an old car or a man on the street. His work is a lot of fun to look at and I always look forward to seeing what he comes up with."

    "His unique perspectives have challenged my thought process when it comes to composing images and his work has inspired me to focus on the film medium as my primary source of capturing images."

    "This is a very talented artist but what i like more here is the sense that i have that i could be there and be part of the story of those buildings and cars and places and of course the people. So, stories are also History of a country, of a city, of a state. Here we have the dimension of a land or at least a part of it and that is excelent!
    Congratulations!"

    "kingqueenknave is without doubt a King when it comes to photography, particularly his wonderful and inspiring film work. His dedication to the magnificent medium is limitless and the results outstanding, showing what can be done with a little effort and a whole heap of skill. And where the hell does he find all those classic cars???! Always supportive, always imaginative, a great photostream and a great guy!"

    "King is one of my favourite flickr photographers, with him it's always 'can't wait to see what's next'
    he has a misterious eye, I'd almost say a spying eye...
    I share his oneiric visions and love his black and white stories
    He definitely makes me love His America"

    "kingqueenknave is the master of the double exposure, expired and x-pro'd film as well as finding and photographing amazing '70s automobiles. And now he's on a unique style of street photography. He's got the eye!"

    "Honoured to give the first testimonial. A truly experimental photographer who is in fact clearly a talented artist. I'm a massive fan of his colour work, whether they are screaming blues or autumn reds. Evocative and soulful work that i find very relevent to our times!"
