CURRENT MISSION

To continue to travel the world and experience other cultures. ...and take lots of photographs

ABOUT ME

I'm a Los Angeles based photographer and spend roughly 7 months out of the year traveling with a rock band www.jdiffner.com

PHILOSOPHY

In most situations (work, group,...) I seem to be the personal cheerleader. I try to always be supportive of those around me and take great pleasure in helping other realize their potential or goals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently just looking to meet new people from far off (or very close) lands. I love experiencing local cultures and customs.

Interests

Any and all things photography related (working my way into filmmaking as well). I do a fair amount of work with an LA based fashion company and absolutely love working with other creatives. If you're a designer and looking to collaborate, hit me up.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll pretty much listen to anything, though my musical tastes tend to run in the songwriter vein. Jeff Tweedy and Tom Waits being two of my favorites. I would love to write that I am a huge fan of classical and challenging literature, but truth be told I read a lot of pulpy novels (generally those sold at airport bookstores).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't know if I could ever pick just one. Standing in the plains of Canada in the middle of winter, taking photos in minus 40 degree weather was pretty spectacular.

Teach, Learn, Share

While self taught, I'm a pretty decent photographer and love to help others.

Even more esoteric, I work as a drum tech and can answer most questions related to that field (tuning, maintenance, etc...)
