Born in Scotland. Small garden. Tall hedge. Hidden. Never at ease. Moved to the big village of Edinburgh. Spent a decade working in theatre and film before choosing still photography as my ticket to starvation. Hung around Philadelphia and New York City for 11 years. Exhibited regularly. Listened. Spent some dark years in London, England, where all the toss-bags go to sharpen their greed. Now I live in a field, in France. I've been dedicated to photography for more than twenty years. It continues to keep me restless, and worried at night. The photographs tug at me, like everything else. I invite you to view my most recent print work at www.jonstark.com. Listen to Gang Of Four here first though and watch the slide-shows. Thanks for visiting. See you on the other side...
Hey there Cowboy!!! Happy you found the music. Happier that you like it. That's lucky. :) If I knew a geanie in a bottle I would wish you the best photos of your life. Cheers, Limerick x

hi jon, thanks for the request, the work is very thought-provoking, i really like your style. i am curious to why you decided to add me? i live in london from time to time whereabouts do you live? regards. X*
Since you've left Philly, the city has become the murder capital of the US & Frank Sherlock nearly died. Coincidence? Perhaps. Or perhaps you should visit us again soon & spread some good mojo.
