[ Me, myself and I ]
It all started years ago when going on many hikes in the New England area where I spent my early years. Recently photography has become the more dominant pastime that I enjoy when not at work. Most of the time I have no idea what I’m doing, but I’m having a good time learning. I’m very grateful to the people on flickr that have helped me by giving me some feedback on my various shots. Starting out last year on flickr I had my Power Shot and now with the New Year I have my Digital Rebel a few lens to go with it. I’m now officially broke and will have to be content with what I have for sometime to come. Thanks again to all those who have given me feedback on my photos. It’s greatly appreciated.

"Armed with his camera and tripod, Jon will go to any length to get the "perfect shot." He is at his best on, and also trekking off, the hiking trail; whether it is in the mountains of New England or on the Great Wall in China."
