Window cleaner extraordinaire, and very amateur photographer..
I NEED photography as i don't seem to have any substantial amount of memory but I LOVE it because "Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.” - Dorothea Lange

"Jason describes himself as a 'very amateur photographer'
But from his photos that i have seen, I would say he is a very competent, and talented snapper indeed.
He has a great eye for a photo. Jason also embraces different styles, and techniques to good effect.
Jason is always ready to give praise and encouragement to other people.
This is a rare quality often lacking in todays world.
I find him a very amiable, and friendly guy!
All the best with your photography J :-)"5th July, 2010
