Time and Processing Techniques – Great Gifts for Any Photographer
I am friends with many professional photographers. Some of them are really famous, while others like myself, are in the process of making names for themselves. The amazing thing that transcends all of them is the fact that none of them believe they know it all and at the same time they are all willing [...]
Duality – China
There is this heavy metal band that I listen to on a regular basis named Slipknot and they have a song titled “Duality”. This song alternates between the heavy metal that most would dub “noise” and a calmer, completely comprehendible singing, hence the name. I have been thinking of this song for most of the [...]
Work–Workshops–and Travel
Many of you have been wondering where the heck I have been. It has been how many weeks since my last post? I know, I know, inconsistency is not good for Google, SEO, PPO, CPS, NPS, LLC, INC, and whatever other abbreviations you can come up with. Seriously though, I have been working like a [...]
The Experience – The Valley
I took my dog for a walk tonight, as I do almost every night, on a trail that we’ve walked probably a hundred times. Tonight was different. There was a crispness to the air. Winter was on its way. The grasses were tall. Dry. Sidney closed his eyes as his face pushed them out of [...]
February 2010 Photo of the Month
I have had a really good week. Colleague John O’Conner inspired me with a few super simple image compositions that he posted to his facebook page. I drew more inspiration from a video of urban trials rider Danny MacAskill. And, was able to witness an amazing light display at my own private beach that allowed [...]
A New Year’s Post – Resisting is Futile
I have taken close to a hundred black and white images in 20 years of photographing. Yep, 100. That is it. I don’t even think it’s a recognizable percent of my total images to date. My old excuse was that I didn’t want to house another film in a fridge that was already packed with [...]
December 2009 Photo of the Month
Last week the rain that we have been engulfed in for over six weeks just decided to up and clear one afternoon. I was so shocked that I almost didn’t grab my camera and head out. I was “too busy working on the computer”,”in a van, down by the river” and did not want to [...]

We are proud to announce a new image licensing and fine art print site. We can now provide direct sales, 24 hours a day, for Jay’s photographs. Although we are launching with just 12 images today, the goal is to have many more in 2010 and eventually [...]Bjarke Ingles-Architect and Naturlist
Some of you have noticed that I have not been adding content here for quite a while now. Well, I have been offline for a bit, traveling, working, and in general living like a caveman with the basics of fire and shelter-stay tuned for more on that in some up coming posts. Some of you [...]
February 2009 Photo of the Month
Heather and I have been together for almost 12 years. We have always struggled to find a New Year’s celebration that has kept us talking about the experience for the months following. The parties that we remember often are the ones in which we were always with those closest to our hearts. I think 2000 [...]
