Jason Robert Jones

Beneath a thin envelop of atmosphere wedged between molten rock and the cosmos, the cycle of life turns in perpetual motion, consistent with the rotation of the planet. A silver crescent moon hangs high over the reticent solitude of the dunes below, as night succumbs gradually to morning’s sonata. Dawn breaks casting a golden veil of light over the rippling sands, washing the landscape of her pensive Nocturne. Here I find myself fully present, awake and in tune with the universe striving to compose this immense feeling into a single frame, an arrangement of feelings, shapes, textures and tones commonly referred to as “The Photograph”.

Photography for me is not just an artistic expression; it is a holy commune between one’s soul and the fabric of life. It’s a space that when entered awakens my consciousness and like the unconditional, unspoken love between a mother and her newborn child, it is an invisible energy that connects me with my true self. Seeking not to capture but convey the world that I witness. Striving not to take but to engage, through a collaborative effort with my subject. Cooperating to convey a sense of beauty or vast reflection. Distilling a single moment or span of time into a single frame.
