If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you have already seen this, but if you haven’t, here it is.
When Crash Taylor, a kick ass wedding photographer in his own right, contacted me about an interview, I was very flattered. Crash has interviewed some of my favourite wedding photographers in the world, so I must admit I was a bit baffled. But hey, my whole life is a bit surreal these days, so I decided to go with the flow. If you’re interested in knowing more about me, read the interview here. It even comes with images. Double whammy.

Mary Kathryn - Dearest Jonas,
You were the first wedding photographer who’s work I truly loved. Fine art met the cheesy industry of wedding photography? You made what I thought was nearly impossible to do sore.
James Nachtwey and Sally Mann are my favorite photographers. And reading that they were some of your favorites in the interview made me so happy. Several years ago, the same professor exposed me to both James Nachtwey’s documentary “War Photographer” and the first bit of Sally Mann slides I had ever seen. Martin Parr would be in my three favorites with them. Some of the humor, story telling, and irony in your photos reminds me of Martin Parr.
I am a loyal follower of your blog and twitter. I am addicted to what you shoot, what you see, and what you say.

p.s. Your pal, Mr. Clausen, is photographing my own wedding next summer!
