About Jao:
I am a fine art photographer living in the Denver area. I enjoy photographing landscapes, people, moments and much more. I also enjoy photographing weddings. If you're looking for wedding photos, they are probably at my smugmug page.
My love for photography started at age 5 or so when I got my first Polaroid camera which I carried around everywhere and used all the time (money permitting ;-) ) especially on vacation in France and such. Later my father taught me black-and-white photography. I am still often nostalgic for the temporary darkroom that we built using black cloth and plastic in one of the bedrooms in his old house. Nowadays, I am completely enamored by digital photography and the freedom it offers. I still use film once in a while though.

Also check out some of my images in the galleries below. I will mat and frame many of these images on request. Just send me an email (see footer of this page).
Many more of my photographs can be seen on my flickr page and I discuss photographic technique and how some of my photos came to be at my blog.
