 The
images that make up "Quiet Wanderings" were not drawn from an attempt at perfect
shots of grand vistas and sweeping landscapes. Rather, says Jason, "My camera
is like a journal, but with a different dimension… I like to photograph what has
moved me, however insignificant. I do not have any expectations. I am there as
a guest, preoccupied with the quest, the observation…Too soon, inevitably, I
will be back in the city at my desk away from nature's solace. When
recollecting my encounters I am often drawn to these simple images as they
invoke the strongest emotions tied to my experience."
 Jason
began photographing the outdoors when he was a Boy Scout in Austin at the age of
14. He borrowed his mother's 110 on trips to New Mexico and across Texas. These
experiences were as much spiritual as they were physically enduring and
character forming. In 1994 Jason moved to Dallas to pursue a career in graphic
design. His proximity to north Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and New
Mexico opened a new chapter in his portfolio. A thriving professional career
fueled exploration further from home; Colorado, Montana, Canada, and New
England. Today, he continues his graphic design career with a satisfying blend
of work including print, web site design, and photography. He continues to
travel to new destinations as time permits, capturing his vision of an endlessly
interesting world full of beauty. He is looking forward to his next adventure in
China.
