Quinta Scott

I am the photographer/author of The Mississippi: A Visual Biography (University of Missouri Press, 2010) and of Along Route 66 (University of Oklahoma Press, 2000), the photographer of The Eads Bridge(University of Missouri Press, 1979 and the Missouri Historical Society, 1999)and Route 66: The Highway and Its People(University of Oklahoma Press, 1989).

I have received two fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts. I exhibit nationally. Numerous corporate and museum collections hold my work.

I blog at quintascott.wordpress.com and at alongroute66.wordpress.com. Visit my websites: quintascott.com, alongroute66.com, MississippiRiverPhotographs.com (under construction), and if you live in the St. Louis Area, twotanktours.com for interesting short trips along the Mississippi and the American Bottom.

I live in Waterloo, Illinois, close to the banks of the Mississippi, not far from the Ozark Hills, and in the midst of Illinois wheat filelds.
