I’m Jason, a photographer who’s been documenting life through a Canon lens since 2007. What started as a way to remember technical details while learning the craft turned into a blog that, at its peak, reached 20,000 readers a week. I’ve shot everything from waterfalls in South Carolina to the Northern Lights in Yellowknife, trained on telecommunications systems for Microsoft, and traveled the world with work—always with a camera in tow. These days I’m based in Maryland, slowly getting back to what matters: shooting, writing, and sharing the journey.
The blog crashed in 2015, taking years of content with it. Friendships faded, sponsorships ended, and for a while, I stopped shooting altogether. Life got in the way—career changes, moves from Colorado to South Carolina to Tennessee to Maryland, and the realization that I’d let my gear collect dust for far too long. But here’s the thing: I’m not done yet. I’ve got 100,000+ images sitting in my archive that have never seen the light of day, stories I haven’t told, and a camera that still remembers my hands. This is the reboot—no giveaways, no sponsored content, just photography and the stories behind the shots.
I’m not here to teach you how to use your camera or sell you on the latest gear (there are plenty of blogs for that). I’m here to share what I see, what I’ve learned, and where I’m going next. Expect long-form storytelling, portfolio deep-dives, and the occasional opinionated rant about why your phone camera will never replace real glass. If you’re looking for Instagram-ready tips and tricks, this isn’t the place. But if you want to follow one photographer’s messy, real, fifteen-year journey through this craft, pull up a chair.
