Lucid Perceptions - J. Jason Lazarus

long exposure Welcome to the Personal side of my site. For those who know me, the site hasn't changed that much although I do suggest you have a look around - there is quite a bit of new content - the new site will make it easier for me to add new content when I come across it. For those that don't and have stumbled upon this site - I'm Jason Lazarus, a college student/staff member/photographer/techno geek from Fairbanks Alaska - not to be confused with my "google twin" - the photographer from Chicago with the same name. This site is a little slice of my life - a way for my friends and family to keep up with the daily tidbits of my life - from the blog that gives you the daily events of my life to my photo galleries that show you the world around me. Enjoy what is here, contact me about anything including what you'd like to see more of on this site.

Name: Joshua Jason Lazarus

Favorite Store: Hastings... Best Buy... Titlewave Books...Bosco's Comics.
Residence: Fairbanks, Alaska. Lived on campus for quite a while - finally got away from that. Lived in Alaska since '96.
Favorite Movie Director - George Romero - hands down. The guy created the zombie genre - how can you not love him?

Hobbies: Right now photography is my life - I almost always have a digital camera in my pocket or a vintage camera in my hand.If I only had more time it would be gaming - I love RPG's... generaly those of the Final Fantasy type.I also collect (as much as you can consider it collecting) game systems - I've currently got 18 of them. Additionally, I see myself as a movie buff... generally seeing anywhere between 10-30 movies a month.
