It's hard to decide which is more interesting - the photos Jay takes, or the fun he has while taking them. Both inspire! Tilt-shift, HDR, low light, bokehtastic - whatever form he pursues (and I do believe he's going to try them all), his curiosity adds that coveted "oomph!" of personality to every shot. Jay should also be commended for the loving eye he turns toward Houston, a city whose identity can be a little foggy to those outside the loop. His travel photos reflect the same sincere interest in his subjects. If Flickr ever implements wishlists, Jay will find himself with an overflowing inbox of requests. In short, he could photograph the phone book. Couple it with his usual enthusiastic-but-easygoing narrative, and I guarantee we'd all be clicking to View Large on Black. (What do you say, Jay? White Pages or Yellow?)
