Culture Wars is expected to be completed this Deceber

The Culture Wars

Ladies and gentlemen, I am currently writing The Culture Wars. Hours of my day are dedicated to this book, and the process feels nothing short of surreal. Writing it is more than a task—it’s a calling. The events unfolding in the world right now provide no shortage of content, and the urgency to document them is undeniable.

Books like Orwell’s 1984, though fictional, paint a haunting picture of a totalitarian society. The Culture Wars is a snapshot of our time, capturing the reality we’re living in. My hope is that when people read it ten years from now, it will feel like fiction—because right now, we’re living in what seems like an alternate reality.

First Blog Post!

Hi everyone, I’m Scott, a professional photographer with a passion for portraiture. In this blog, I will share images and write about the gear I used. There will be affiliate links; if you enjoy my content and it helps you decide to make a purchase, that would be fantastic. I must credit those who came before me, whose blogs I loved checking to see what they were creating. Over time, everything changes, and the people I admired have taken different paths.

I've been featured on the Leica Blog for my work in the past. From my portfolio, you can see I've photographed around the world, mostly with a Leica M camera & S medium format. It’s time to share the stories behind some of those photographs. Let’s see where this blog takes us. I also want to mention that I’m the owner and designer of the Vi Vante brand; perhaps you've heard of it. I've sold thousands of camera straps and bags in over 40 countries worldwide, speaking humbly, of course.

sincerely,

Scott Morvay
