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.

Great work as always… love the studio stuff! keep it coming. Incredible workshop last week… i still feel inspired.
Stunningly wonderful work as always Parker.
All great images Parker! So many meanings, and so many levels. Love them and love to see you doing them and sharing. Especially love the one with the white lines around her (still trying to figure out what that is), and the feeling of the first one. I need to find a hat like that too.
endless thanks from me to you for helping me realize this is the most important part of the photographer’s journey. Because of your influence, I know that being a photographer is a life journey and that creating and shooting feeds the passion…thank you!
Not the same old S*&t indeed! Beautiful and inspiring Parker!
