The photos on this site are an ongoing collection of things, people and places that happen to stand in my way the moment I press the shutter. These days, that's mainly my son Ash who was born in November 2020. Check out the meta albums of all, random and cover photos. Inquiries and fawning fan mail are all welcome at jonas@ifany.org.
