Hello, I’m Jason, and I once was a photojournalist. Almost. (whew!)

I’m an enthusiast photographer who dabbles the line of professional. During college I studied Photojournalism at Ball State with dreams of traveling the world as a newspaper photographer. In the early 2000s I noticed the changes toward AP services and freelancers...so no Peter Parker for me...Making a hard pivot into another field, life happened...a lot. I met my future wife, and as we finished college our professional careers blossomed. There was a wedding. Then a few births, several moves, and a major professional upheaval saw us relocate our household to a new metro. I maintained my photographic passion and in those in between moments became a serious hobbyist (and unfortunately a bit of a gear head.) I started back into photography with Fuji X and evolved into the full control of M system cameras. Those X system cameras are still around, but mostly used to train my kids. I love and prefer monochrome capture: the detail, the latitude...the timelessness of it. I do shoot some color, especially now that I’m getting back into film (oof.) I'm no pro, but I've sold a few things here or there. I like to say I shoot for the best reason of all...I simply love photography. So, welcome to my little corner of the internet; worthy of web hosting and some redirected name servers. Here's a bit of me for the world to glimpse if has time to notice. Scroll down to see what I'd care to share. Check me out on Instagram @Dynamic_Rangefinder or VERO (@jacsh) also. I may update it at some point.

Studio Portraits
Puppers
What can I say? You can call yourself a humanistic photographer, but at the end of the day you’re still shooting 80% of your work with a lens pointed at a snoot. There are lots of snoots around here.
The Kids
The kids. I’m truly in awe everyday seeing how parts of your mind and soul can be cleaved off and duplicated into another being. I see parts of me and Tiffany every time I look at them. Part of my reason for shooting is to capture the increasingly fleeting moments I have with these two amazing humans.
Travel
A few cruises, some solo jaunts with my camera into the cities we touched…a glimpse of other corners of the world. It’s no extreme safari or mountain summit, but hey…it’s not home. Always take a camera and a friendly, fearless attitude.
Recreation
Break loose when you can…just don’t forget to bring a lens or two.
Senior Portraits
Senior portraiture...I hate to love it. I don't like charging people for my love...So for these three it was a perfect excuse not to. Malaki, Isaac and Jaida are the three wonderful kids of my lifelong best friend (and basically brother) down in Florida. It gave me a great ‘excuse’ to travel and visit as each one rolled into their senior year.
