A Letter from Scott Heath and Lou Desiderio Collectively, we have been associated with the photographic industry for several decades and have met some pretty special and talented people along the way. Over time it seemed like nobody ever left the industry, everyone just moved around a bit. And while we are a small, close-knit community, we all have a handful of those very special people who really had an impact on our lives and careers; as a mentor, a mentee, and a friend.
