Ben Skaught

My name is Benjamin Skaught. I retired after 42 years in public education allowing me to spend more time on one of my favorite hobbies, photography. Over the years I've been fortunate to win a number of local, regional and international awards for my work. I particularly enjoy landscape and nature photography. Please visit my website at http://benjaminskaught.zenfolio.com and take a little time to enjoy the photos. The slideshows are a fun way to spend a few moments enjoying the pictures put to music. If there is a particular photo you are interested in, I would be happy to make a print available to you. I would very much appreciate your feedback on my site. Please take a moment to enter a comment or critique. You can contact me via this website by sending me a message about any photo you would like.
