Themes are generally countryside and architecture - around the latter you'll find there's varying amounts of verbage as a result of my interest in the history of why things look how they do today and my thoughts on what things may look like in the future... if Norman Foster and Make have their way the Earth will be covered in glass - it already being blue and curved there's only one more step for them to attain their goal.

 

The current zenith of my achievements is to have a portfolio of architectural shots featured on the Guardian Camera Club. Could this be fame at last - my guess is I'll keep hold of the day job pending that million dollar commission.

 

I've also made No.1 on explore, which was a curious experience to say the least.

 

I'm the admin for a couple of groups:

 

www.flickr.com/groups/ampthill which is, unsurprisingly, for pictures of Ampthill in Bedfordshire and the surrounding area as the name of the group may suggest.

 

www.flickr.com/groups/hill-figures which is for pictures of White Horse and other carvings on the hillside.

 

www.flickr.com/groups/paul-insect which is the complete collection of Paul Insect art/graffiti

 

www.flickr.com/groups/drift-08 for pictures from the Drift exhibition of art installations in London, 2008.

 

Information on these here: Group Trackr

 

(I'm also fond of Tin Eye as a tool to look for stolen images.)

A wonderful social documentary photographer who captures points of time which are dying and about to be lost forever without most people realising

Jon has a gift for capturing emotions! Whether it be the facade of a decaying building or the raw beauty of a young woman's portrait, an abstract geometric form or the tranquility of huge fluffy clouds the images are all charged with a unique stimulating power!

Jon has a gift for capturing emotions! Whether it be the facade of a decaying building or the raw beauty of a young woman's portrait, an abstract geometric form or the tranquility of huge fluffy clouds the images are all charged with a unique stimulating power! Historian would be one appropriate title but a deeper look would uncover a childlike awe of all we call life.
