​The 13th Note – Art of Mastery: Scott Kelley – Mastery of Photography
Episode Description:
What does it mean to see through the lens—not just what’s there, but what’s trying to emerge?

In this powerful episode of The 13th Note – Art of Mastery, Jeff Spike Wong sits down with Houston-based photographer Scott Kelley to explore the soul of photography. From capturing raw emotion to trusting intuition in a single frame, Scott opens up about the art behind the craft—and how every great photo begins with presence, not the camera.

They dive into questions that go far beyond gear:
– Is the moment happening… or are we creating it?
– What separates a picture from a portal?
– And when does photography stop being technical—and start becoming spiritual?

Whether you’re an artist, a seeker, or someone just trying to see clearly again, this episode will open your eyes.
