Scott Newton is a longtime resident of Austin, TX.  He moved to Austin as a 21 year old college student in 1970 and graduated from UT in 1972 with an English degree.

Soon after graduation, he picked up a camera and started shooting. He shot everything, discovering he enjoyed shooting musicians most. Many nights were spent dancing the night away at the old Armadillo World Headquarters.

Eventually he trained himself to be a photographer. He started freelancing in 1973, eventually working his way to being the only staff stills employee at Austin City Limits in 1979, a position he's held ever since.

These photos are a sample of his career over the last 43 years.
