Portrait of Jason, taken during a photographing road trip through all states in the Western half of the country. I had no plans, I followed the weather, preferring overcast skies for softer light. I approached strangers and knocked on doors asking people if I could photograph them. This image was taken when I was driving down the highway and saw smoke off to the side of the highway a short distance away, and turned around to investigate. Up a dirt road I found 3 workers with heavy machinery organizing chopped down trees. This is one of those workers.

DESCRIPTION
AUTHOR
I have always been passionate about creating beauty. Whether it is photography, music, art, cooking, gardening, or any simple activity or endeavor I can be creative with. Photographing is a reason to explore the world, a reason to meet people I would never otherwise meet, a way of communicating that makes sense to me and comes naturally, and a way of creating objects of beauty that impact and resonate and hopefully change other people and the world at large.
Since 2005 I have been fighting a serious chronic illness called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS) which has become so severe that I am now bedridden. But I remain hopeful in a cure someday. In the meantime I try to continue pursuing my passions however and whenever I can.
