I have been on an extended hiatus from deviantART since the fall of 2006 but I am back now and will be submitting new art frequently. I am currently enrolled in a Digital Imaging class at my high school and will be posting my work from that class on here as well. So stay tuned because new art work will be popping up in the next few days. Thanks.

I now have a website up and running for my photography. The web address is <www.lawsonstudio.com>. If you have any suggestions or anything of the nature please e-mail me them at jono.lawson@lawsonstudio.com. Also, I really appreciate any comments you leave on my photographs that I have on my website. Thanks!

Well summer is almost over and the school year is about to start again. Summer this year was awsome overall. Sure it had its down moments but I had an awsome time in Columbus and at PKI with my girlfriend and best friend Nikki. I also got a lot of requirements finished while I was at boy scout camp which will really help with me reaching Eagle Scout. I almost have my school challenge project done and that has been both a fun and enlightening experience. I learned how to drive our boat this summer so hopefully next summer I will be allowed to take it out alone. Thanks to everyone who helped make my summer a memorable one.

I just got back from going to a wedding with my best friend and girlfriend, Nikki. The wedding was in Columbus, OH so we drove up to it at on Saturday and when we got there we got all dressed-up and then we went to the service and receptio, both of which were at a wine celler. We got to have dinner together and then dance for a few hours with each other. When it was over at around 12:00am on Sunday morning we went back to our hotel rooms where we talked for a little bit band danced some more before going to sleep. Then, on Sunday morning we got up at around 6:00am and went down to go swimming and have breakfast but neither of the two were open yet so instead we went around the hotel and we just sat and talked for a while till 7:30am when the breakfast buffet opened. After we finished eating we went up and woke up Nikki's brother to go swimming. Then he went down and had breakfast and we finally got to go swimming at around 10:30 after a long series of both fun and interesting events. After swimming we all took showers and packed up to go to COSI. COSI was awsome we went to all of the exhibits. After COSI we went to the Easton Mall, this huge and very awsome mall where a Mexican restaurant called Abuelos was. We had lunch there and then continued on our way back home. After we dropped Nikki's dad and brother off at her house her mom and her took me to my house. When we got there we had ice cream and talked for a while. Then she had to go home. It was the best weekend ever. We got to spend almost the whole time together and we got to dance, wrestle, swim, and just have fun.
