Heard this evening the very sad news that Jason has lost his battle.
Can't say I have any more than one or two shots of his work that are worthy, but here's one I thought worth posting from 2005.

(I suspect this is the car that got rolled later in the year....)

some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

Yes, very sad news, far too young.

I don't have a lot of his either, this one from the Hamilton 400 in 2010, shot through the fence (with your 1DMk3!!)

Sad indeed.
He was one of the nicest guys in the V8 paddock.
Fought a brave battle to the end and an inspiration to all.

Been a while since my last post but this seems worthwhile.

As they say: 'only the good die young'.

RIP Jason.
