I cannot believe you are gone. Cannot believe your old soul has moved on. I never would have guessed when I found your picture and searched your name this is what I would find. My deepest sympathies are with CJ, Stacy, Lindsay, and Brian. I know the pain of losing someone far too early than should be. Peace, my friend.

I still remember. God bless you Dan.

Dear April, I found a gift that Danny and CJ gave to Jack. It made me think of how proud he was of both Danny and CJ and how much he loved them as his own children. I wanted to share those thoughts with you. Danny and Jack are together, with love they will wath over all of us.

Dear Stacey and the whole family, i've been very sad since I heard Dan passed away. I remember him as a fine young man and I will never forget him. I saw his pictures and I like them a lot.He had so many assets he will always be remembered.And also thank you Stacy for the good times we had together back in Pittsburgh. Love from Isabelle, the French lady from USC, fred and Christel's mom.

Dear Dan, you had gone such a long way from the Dan I knew back in 1995. And what an extraordinary path you have led since then. And what a beautiful example of selflessness you have left us with. Thanks always for being my good friend back at the time when it wasn't too easy for me. You'll be in my heart forever brother...
Christel 19-Jan-2009 12:26
Dear Dan, Lindsay, Brian and the whole family,

I have just learnt what happened to Dan and was very moved and touched by the loss of a man like him. I have taken some time to look at his work and was amazed at all the things he had done at such a young age.
I used to babysit for Lindsay and Brian when they were younger, yes the french girl from USC high school, and had seen and gotten to know Dan well. A very quiet, very respectful young man of others. My older brother Fred was so sadened by the news as he also found out today. They were great friends at the time.

All of my thoughts go to you, and from the Giraud family.

Thank you for remembering Danny. I'm always happy to hear of the lives he touched.

Still missing and thinking of you daily son.

I was in southern Chile when I learned of your accident Dan. You were extreemly brilliant..... nor have I met anyone with such disdain for mediocrities. Dan never wasted any time in getting to the meat of the matter. His bedside manners were blunt but exacting; his care was nothing less than genious, thourough, and appropriate. I never had the chance of seeing you climb, but you often spoke of it with me on duty, in particular, his climbing of El Capitan.... a reflection of his courage that permiated other portions of his life. I wish I got to know you better.... you had my repect from early on.

One of my first experiences with Dan was on a 911 call for a CHF severe SOB when he made base contact with our MRO at Highland Hospital and got orders for RSI.... far out of of county policy.... and when he got the approval my jaw dropped to the floor. He was so well spoken he probably could have goten anything he wanted.... lol.

Dan rest well wherever you are.... hope to see you again....

Dan, It's your birthday today. Happy Birthday.
Guest 08-Mar-2007 12:14
Your work is amazing!
C.J. 10-Jun-2006 16:17
Brother. I miss you something fierce. It isn't the same without your company. I'll pick up the portion of your load I can handle, but this really sucks. I love your pics and always have... here's to hoping your trained eye is watching us now. I'm really not ready to say goodbye, so check you later.
Lindsay 08-Jun-2006 13:40
Hey brother, I'm speechless anymore. I'm trying to find myself...now that your...elsewhere....and have moved on, back or over....i seem to feel...everything. but at the same time...nothing at all..
i'm trying to cope...so dont gimme that look of yours and tell me to suck it up. even though i would love to hear that...coming out of your vocal cords..or whisper...as opposed to imagining with the power of written words, and take a risk of being confused on whats true and whats false...gotta go. blank mind
love you

Hi Dan, you don't know me, but I'm looking for Wayne Dodson. I was station with him at Ellsworth AFB in South Dakota. He is a very good artist, and had a wife named Tammy. I have been looking for him since about 1994. If the Wayne Dodson was the one that posted on 16 Feb 2006, could you pass along my email to him. I found this sight by accident, and hoping this is the same guy. My alternate email is trenfro@rushmore.com. Thanks
Lindsay Pavlick 06-Mar-2006 00:09
Hey Dan, I miss you. Your birthday was yesterday and now it's mine today....i missed celebrating it with you. You're still my Hero and you're still my guide. I Love You

As a family member whom never really knew Dan. This has been a life changing expierence,again for me.Again our Lord has come into my path to remind me of the extrem
importance of never taking anyone for granted. I pray that my poor judgement over all these years will be corrected in the future. After seeing his photos and attending his Pittsburgh memorial,and reading these lovely heartfelt messages from those who shared his life,I feel touched by Dan in a way that life could never bring. Until we meet again Dan,in a place where love is the only thing that matters.

To have had you in my life and to have been a part of yours is a special sort of heaven. Our travels were extraordinary as are your photographs. My love dear one.
Frank Meredith 19-Feb-2006 04:12
For Jeff and Ann--I never know what to say at memorial services--all I can do is suit up
and show up and pray with you and your family. There are no words. God grant me the
serenity.....
Wayne Dodson 16-Feb-2006 22:32
For Jeff and Ann, Jeff your a good friend, im so sorry for your loss, im sorry i never got a chance to meet your son, as an artist myself Dan's pictures were brilliant.May he rest in gods arms forevermore. And may you meet him in heaven some day.
All my love to everyone who was blessed to know dan.
Your friend always, wayne.
Stacy Meredith 11-Feb-2006 01:28
These photographs are personal, unique, artistic, observant and a true portrait of life. You saw everything. You could see into people and paint the depth of their emotions with your lens. You were so many things to so many people and you remained yourself. We will always learn from you and will feel you with us forever, through your love and your outlook on life and your art. I love you. I love your art. I will never tire of enjoying your photographs, and I thank you for giving of yourself by leaving us this legacy.
Jeff Scott 08-Feb-2006 19:38
Rest in peace my beloved son. Thank you, you were truly a gift from God. I'll miss you terribly.
Mary Pulkrabek 04-Feb-2006 23:29
Dan was our son-in-law, and we loved him. He and April adored each other and took such joy in each other's presence, foibles, everyday moments. They truly were (the overused word) soulmates. He made us happy because he made our daughter happy (and vice-versa). His amazing talents and perceptiveness of life and people around him were just frosting on the cake on top of the other good qualities....words cannot do his peace, calm and professionalism (in whatever he tackled) the proper justice.

Kate Hanson 03-Feb-2006 05:09
Dan's photographs are breathtaking. I've always felt that. Ever since April showed me his pictures from his first trip to CHina several years ago. The last time I saw him a couple weeks before he died I was trying to convince him to go professional. His photos cut through the 2D image and give it an emotional, raw, honest dimension. He can make a mundane everday object like a telephone pole tell a story. I am so glad he took so many pictures so that those of us left behind can still learn from him about the world we live in.
MacPhot02-Feb-2006 10:09
Not sure what to say here. As a climber I know the risks and have known too many losses and injuries over the years. RIP and my sympathies to all who knew Dan.
Dan Chusid02-Feb-2006 07:38
None of us is immortal.
The time will come for each of us when the curtain comes down
and the show is over.
Whether our performance is short and sweet or long running, the
true measure is the passion, exhilaration and sweat left behind.

Rest in Peace brother.

In Memoriam

Daniel Paul Scott, aged 26, a paramedic, rock climber, and photographer whose work appears on the PBase site, died January 14, 2006 while climbing in Joshua Tree National Monument.

As a stranger who never knew Dan, I simply happened upon his obituaryhttp://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/01/28/BAGHUGUVGD1.DTL&hw=Daniel+Paul+Scott&sn=001&sc=1000 in this morning's paper. It gave the link to his galleryhttp://www.pbase.com/windgate/profile , and as I explored his images, it occurred to me that PBase?s viewers might like to know about this extraordinary young man. Thanks to your site, his photos live on, reflecting his obviously deep appreciation for humanity and art -- evidence of an altogether too short life well-lived.

P.S. Dan we had 10 calls last night,sure could have used ya help..
Dave T 28-Jan-2006 23:47
i would ask you what you meant to communicate in taking some of these shots. well, i guess thats for me now to figure out. my memories of you will guide me in determining what you meant to say. the angles, speed, and other stuff in taking the photos revealed choices you made in taking the pictures. putting them up online, showed that you were proud of those choices. i will think about this when i remember you my friend.
Guest 28-Jan-2006 16:16
I did not know him. I came upon his name and website in the paper. Beautiful pictures and an Extraordinary Life.
