":) Thanks Heidi! And thanks for setting this up to meet such awesome people! "

"I'm Jason, a social business program manager at IBM and amateur photographer in my "spare" time. My portfolio is at: http://photo.waywardcelt.com/ and you can find even more about me at http://acdntlpoet.com 
My eye leans towards architecture and landscape/nature type photography with minimal to no post-process editing, but I have dabbled in digital art modification of photographs as well. Lovely to meet you all and I'm enjoying the ability to see some amazing work in such a condensed space and format! Cheers!"

"Thanks Nick! "

"Wow! Great ceiling Jason. "

"Just goes to show how we all see things differently... thanks for giving me opportunity to see this through your eyes! That is actually one of the things I love about photography and why I enjoy taking pictures... I know what I see, but I really love hearing what others see!"

"really? gosh, I think this is the perfect, "so, want me to buy you a whisky?" pose! :)"

":) Funny... not one of my favourites. Thanks for the compliment!"

"I will, of course, have to get a scanner one of these days. :)"

"this might be one of my favorite pics of you. :)"

"oh hush you! I'm sure you had bad hair/wardrobe choice days in high school too! :P"

"Wow. Just, um, wow."

"Love all the color, we don't get that in the desert! Can't wait for Rick to retire, so we can get out of here."

"Very beautiful"
