A hope for the future...
A photography blog by Joe Jones
A Photo Blog
This is a blog of some of my best work as an amateur photographer. Hopefully it will be a progression, or retrospective to show my progress. It seems we never stop learning and though now I can say that I am a far better photographer than from where I started, I will constantly seek to attain a greater level of technical skill along with artistic quality in my work. I hope that all who see it enjoys what they see.
About Me....
I am a mixed race kid from all over. I'm not one of those people who is from anywhere because I've moved and have lived all over. I was born in Ohio, raised in L.A., graduated high school in Atlanta, then I joined the Navy and traveled to and have lived in many different places. And in all the places I have ever been, I've always felt there was something I missed out on seeing. And one day, I plan to visit those places once more along with everywhere else I wish to see in my life - and I wish to share those experiences through the lens of my camera.
I've lived in Atlanta since '04, and I can't say it's been all that great. I thought that it would be more than how I remembered it before I left. I guess in that sense, I kind of take after my family in that it seems we're never satisfied with living in the same place. At least, that's how it used to be. My family is growing older and most have now become content. Not me though. So there will likely be a new place to call home in my future. For now, I live in an Atlanta suburb known as Norcross with my wife Querida and my son Darren, our dog Jamie, and our cat Jingles in a small but homey townhouse, which I own.
My greatest wish in life is for people to see the world the way I do - and perhaps that'll be my legacy.
