New Leaf

Turning over a new leaf. I put this in my body today. Also new… I’m completely scrapping the idea of separating my personal photos like this which I used to post to a separate blog from posts of my professional work on Americanvirus. Why’d I buy into having to separate that stuff? I’ll tell you...

The Year I Jumped

I read an interview with a producer at Pixar. He said at the outset of every movie they make, it feels as if everyone involved is jumping out of an airplane while promising each other they can build a parachute before they hit the ground. That pretty much sums up last year for me. The...

Congratulations Jonas! What an amazing year you have had. I cannot wait to see what 2012 brings for you.

Jonas and Mary–the work you both have accomplished is nothing short of magical and amazing! I can look at your pictures all day long and always feel submerged into the lives of total strangers. The work you did for Rob and I was fucking SPECTACULAR!! And there I go with “F” bombs in the midst of a beautiful comment…but it really was. All of our guests were raving about both of you and as Beth noted “you are both so family now!”. It was great to see you at the holidays and I cant wait to spend more time together getting to know you more as dear friends :) Here’s to you and to all the amazing work to come in 2012!!!!!!!!

I love your collection… it’s seeing poetry in the ordinary moments and catching joy like a lightening bug in a jar. Thanks for sharing!

Out of control. Fave images= Photo booth with the little girl sitting in there, the bunny costume peeking over the fence, purple flower detail shot, ALL your flash images- actually just make that all your images in this post! So much variety, creativity, spirit and vision in your images. Well done- you killed it your first year- I hope to kill it like you did last year this year! :)

Bravo, Jonas. This is an incredible set and it’s been amazing to watch you grow into the beastographer you are now. I have now doubt 2012 is going to be a good year for you, hope we get the chance to work together.
