After reading an article on Photofocus where Scott mentions this, I had to look it up for myself:

Turns out Scott Bourne was a con man in the early 80's and served jail time. Crazy story.

LOL His blog posts might be a bit weak, but his podcast really helped me out when I was first getting into DSLR photography.

And the "Bourne Identity" is based on his life? :D

I'm so glad to get some affirmation on this. Just had an unpleasant exchange with him through his blog (cough). He is so nasty to anyone who disagrees with him. I thought I was going crazy, so many people seem to like him.

He really does hate when people disagree with him. I have followed him for quite sometime. Would have never dreamed of this.


Um... Hi
