Hey, I’m Scott Mackay and this is my personal media site a.k.a. Skooter Media. I have ran several sites in the past including JDMTuned.com and MyDragCar.com. I have also assisted many others with their sites over the years and have now decided that I need my own site to show off some of the stuff I have done. So keep coming back to see what projects I am working on.

A few frequently asked questions:

How do you pronounce your last name?
People often pronounce my last name wrong and that’s ok I guess but I always correct them. Mackay is properly pronounced “mhuc eye” not “mah kaay”.

If you were born in Scotland, where’s your accent?
Honestly I wish I still had one but because my family moved to Canada at such a young age I lost it when I was about 6 years old.

What did you take in school?
I have always been artistic so when I ventured into high school I went to a school that had an arts program which specialized in art, music, drama and yes dance. However, after grade 11 I had found a love for drafting/architecture and opted to head back to the school I was suppose to go to.
I then took Architectural Technology in college which got me my first career job and have been here ever since.

But you don’t do architecture…
This is true. My job did start as a drafting/site survey position and has evolved into much more.

So what is it you do?
I am a software developer working for Vision Facilities Management Ltd.
Huh! how does that happen? Well I was basically asked if I wanted to learn how to program and develop database structures etc. and I said sure and have now been here for 13+ years.

When did you start web design?
I started to play with websites about the same time as I started drag racing. I wanted to have a site to promote my drag car and it evolved from there. The first real site I started was AllMotorSOHC.com then came MyDragCar.com and then JDMTuned.com. I have had a few others which didn’t do much but I like to play around a lot.

How long you been taking pictures?
I started taking pictures right after I stopped drag racing. I still wanted to be apart of the scene but didn’t want to race anymore, that would have been back in 2006.

What equipment do you shoot with?
I currently shoot with a Sony a200 w/vertical grip and normally carry a few lenses with me, my Tamron 28-75 f2.8, my Sigma 10-20 and my Sigma 70-200 f2.8.
