Jason casually shot Canon film cameras for over a decade.  In the spring of 2006, he started off in digital photography by taking an 8-week course titled "Basic Digital Photography" at the Smithsonian Instituion.  Since then he has taken many more Smithsonian and Nikon courses, and was awarded first place and third place in Smithsonian photography competitions.  He is an advanced amature with a day job and a love of photography.  This website has his "best of" photos, but you can view his much more substantial photostream here.

 

He specializes in capturing candid moments, portrait photography in natural environments, product photography, and fine art photography.  Jason shoots all-digital, and minimizes the use of flashes for more natural light whenever possible.
