Jon Crispin's Notebook

I have known my friend Alex Ross for a very long time.  He has been an influence on me in more ways than I can list here.  Although we don’t live near each other, we speak on the phone on most days.  When I first started thinking of myself as a photographer, it was Alex whose eye I most admired.  He just sees things in a way that no other photographer does.  He sends me prints from time to time, but more often will send an image through email.  Last night he attached this shot to a note about creativity.  He said nothing about it, it was just at the bottom of the email as if it was an afterthought.  It just blew me away, and I thought it would be nice to share it on this cold Monday morning.  Thanks Alex, for everything.
