Belize: Have Artist, Will Travel

It’s rarely lost on me that I’m fortunate enough to have a job that allows for the types of travel that it does.
Traveling to warm and/or tropical climes in pursuit of bugs and critters to photograph would still technically qualify as a hobby for me, but I’m working on making it more.
My friends and family often ask “what was it like?” or “how did you do it?”, and more often than not I find it difficult to summarize in a satisfying way – there are just a lot of details (and planning) involved in a long trip to a far away locale.
Back at the start 2009, my partner and I traveled to Belize – the above video was an attempt to summarize some of the steps involved. Sadly I didn’t capture any of the process of actually getting to the marine reserve which was by small skiff (one of the best parts), but this should give a small idea of the journey.
To see images captured while on location and more, head to Photogrovert, my photography website.
The things we do for our art…

Ah, the things that we do for our art!
Sometimes, just sometimes, one looks back on an image and thinks… “damn, this had better have been worth it.”
After having recently seen the fruits (coming soon) of the rather humiliating labor that brought this image to life, I can now say, it was definitely worth it.
I’m told that if you can’t laugh at yourself, you really have no right to laugh at others – which is something I’m absolutely not ready to give up.
First Look: A Post-Modern Fairy Tale
This is a first glimpse at a new photographic series I completed a short time ago (though have not yet fully scanned). It is entitled “A Post-Modern Fairy Tale”, and is meant to comment on the changing roles of the sexes in today’s culture. It feaures an unshaven man in a glistening ball gown, cast in fairy tale-like lighting and scenarios. It will be a series of 4 images.
Keep your eyes focused on jasoncovert.com, as it’s launch looms closer and I hope to have the complete series available for viewing at that time.
