Today I "met" Jeffrey Scott, the visionary artist behind the works of Factory 1019 in the One Model Place chat system. I've caught a few fleeting glimpses of his handle during the last year and but never had a chance to chat with him. Today I did. I had acknowledged his OMP Profile many months ago and sent him an e-mail but I didn't receive a reply. I had assumed that he had such a high volume of acknowledgements and e-mails that one small compliment was just a drop in the bucket for him.
But today he told me that he liked my work and that he had acknowledged me. Though I find it difficult to believe that Mr. Scott would like any of my comparatively "sterile" works, I am still very flattered. 
Apparently he's only been shooting for four years and he was painting and sculpting before this period. Irregardless, what he has already achieved I fear I may never achieve in my entire lifetime. His profile on OMP is by far the single profile which I admire most. I felt almost cocky not asking how he manages to create the images he seems to produce on a routine basis; often I feel the insatiable temptation to ask. However, even if he would be willing to divulge some hints as to what his secrets are I would prefer to learn at my own pace and discover these techniques on my own. Still, if the opportunity ever arises to work with Mr. Scott in any capacity I would do everything within my means to realize it.
