About This Extraordinary Photographer

What can be said about the incredible Griffith Jones that hasn't already been said?


He is a man among men, a true poet and warrior, he frequently treads water for three days at a time. He is a dynamic figure often wearing a long felt cape and seen twirling his impossibly manicured mustache. He has written award winning operas, translates ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees and he manages his time efficiently. I once saw him woo 42 woman with his sensuous and Godlike trombone playing. Griffith Jones is a multi-tasker.

He can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed whilst cooking 30 minute brownies in 20 minutes. He is an expert in stucco a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru. Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once saw him single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. He plays bluegrass cello, he was scouted by the Mets, he is the subject of numerous documentaries. When he's bored, he builds large suspension bridges in his yard. He enjoys urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, he repairs electrical appliances free of charge. He is an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over his original line of corduroy evening wear. He doesn't perspire. He is a private citizen, yet he receives fan mail. He has been caller number nine and has won the weekend passes. Last summer He toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. He bats .400. His deft floral arrangements have earned him fame in international botany circles. Children trust Him. He can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once heard he read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. He knows the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. He has performed several covert operations for the CIA. He sleeps once a week; when he does sleep, he sleeps in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, he successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. He breeds prizewinning clams. He has won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. He has played Hamlet, performed open-heart surgery, and He has spoken with Elvis... All in all, he's a pretty great guy.


In all honesty though, Griffith Jones has backpacked Europe for 6 months and then begun traveling abou the US of A. In the process he has taken some amateur photos. He has recently begun taking photos as a free service. Hope you enjoy the photography.
