About Our Photographers
Jon Donaghy


Gridz photographer since September 2006
Jon was introduced to photography during the summer of 2005; He started with a simple point-and-shoot camera and has progressed from there. His camera provides a way for me to get away from the every day life and forget about other things that are going on.

"Whenever I take a picture, I try to reveal the detail and beauty of the little things that we all sometimes miss in our busy, day-to-day lives."

I got my first camera, a little 'Le Clic,' when I was just a kid and have had 4 film, 2 polaroid, and 5 digital cameras since. I've never stopped taking pictures and have a camera with me everywhere I go."
