Hello, Jack Spades here.

I have way too many strange hobbies, forensics and photography being the ones I feature on flickr.

Currently I mentor the Afghan National Army on forensic evidence collection and processing.

I enjoy surfing Flickr to find new and interesting ways of taking pictures. Most of my recent photos are ones which started out as an idea I got from one place or another, were planned/mused over and eventually made it to what you see here. I have what I think are several good ideas for future pictures, so I hope they turn out well :)

When I get back to the US I hope to expand into Longwave IR (Thermal) photography.

You can see photographs of my adventures here.

If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a Flickr message!
