DCist Metro: dcist.com/2009/10/your_friendly_weekend_metro_track_m.php

im 26 years old.

people always ask me when i tell them im a photographer "thats cool, what do you take pictures of?"

i never really know how to respond to that, because i dont limit myself to one medium of photo. i normally tell them "oh whatever is around" and they look at me like im a fool.

i feel like i tend to see things completely different than most. even when not looking through a camera, i find myself composing images in my mind. (which can get pretty annoying).

people also say "you should do more black and white", or "this would make a good picture" (insert subject here) and it makes me laugh. i shoot what i shoot. each image i make, has its own feel, emotion, and reason behind why i took it. i dont go out and try to get the artsy black and white of some obsure thing, i photograph life.

nothing is more precious than life, and to have the privledge to capture it on camera and post it in a way that can help other understand how i see the world, will always keep a camera in front of my eye.

    "Jonathan is creative, inspiring, talented, and a true gift to photography. He has a true passion for this type of work and if you are willing to learn and grow, what else do you need? So many of his portraits are my favorites. One of my favorite things about him is that he doesn't JUDGE. He's appreciative of what other people see. Awesome person, awesome photographer. I'm glad flickr gave me the chance to get to know him and his work.



    Thanks for all your help!"

    "Not only is Jonathan super-talented, but he's always willing to help out. His magazine-quality images always keep me wondering what he'll come up with next. He has his own style that varies from still-life, landscapes, and portraits that is fresh and unique. What else is there to say? I love this guy and his work!"
