Stumbled upon Jason...

Jason Koster submits some wonderful photographs to the J+C guide. Check out his website http://www.jasonkoster.net/! J+C were especially impressed with his Tumbleweed series where as part of the "Picturing Maricopa" project Koster set up a 'portrait studio' outside of Tumbleweed's drop in center for homeless and at risk youth.

We are very proud to have Jason as one of the J+C contributors!!!
