Your Bio

I've been shooting photos since around 1989 or so. I built my first darkroom while still in high school and have worked in mini-labs as well as a medical research photo lab. In college I studied Photo Illustrationa and Photo Communication at Ohio Universy and currently work as a programmer doing back end support for various websites.

In 1999 I moved to Yuma Arizona where I can finally live in the desert and get out exploring on a regular basis. I now do a lot of hiking and exploring of old trails in my truck, Street legal Manx buggy, and sand rail. The Imperial Sand Dunes of Southern California are about 20 minute away and one of my favorite places to get away from it all so I take a lot of photos out there now.

They are available for purchase but ordering through this site is NOT recomended as the images will be cropped or you will waste most of the paper to margins due to their unusual sizes.  Further none of these have been uploaded at their full resolution. And as such should be considered as proofs only!

Please contact me at jphoto@hitesman.com for ordering information.  Prices vary depending on print quality and size but I have a range of both available.
