Parker J is a photographer because he has to be.
He photographs for his soul.
And just incase you were wondering he enjoys:
laughing hard, swinging hammocks, clouds wandering through a mountain range,
music that lets you feel, a good sense of humor, country roads with grass between the tracks,
the click of a shutter, the way a fly line pulls off of the water sending tiny droplets of water to
shine in the sun, the constant flow of people in a large city scene, Scottish hospitality, a great cheeseburger, a fine wine, watching others, a smooth flight and eggs.
He fears:
clowns, spiders, large cats, bees, scales, Scottish food and normality.
