Burpee's Collective | About the Photographer & Sportsman

What is "Burpee's?"

Burpee's refers to Burpee's Mill nestled on the outskirts of Newnan, Georgia. Established in 1888, its primary role was producing textiles for the war. It is located on the west side of Newnan and is registered as a National Historic Site. The property is owned by my Father In-Law and serves as a welcoming view at the edge of the property. It has stood the test of time for over a century showcasing its beauty for the thousands of people who drive past it daily. As part of the family property now, I view it as a testament to the past and an example of what hard work and effort can achieve.

The Journey Never Stops

Jason has been a professional photographer since 2015 and has captured stunning landscapes to pivotal moments in sports and news as a freelance photojournalist for The Associated Press, Getty Images, and other notable media outlets.

Before finding his passion for photography while hiking the Colorado Trail, he served in the United States Army and was awarded the Purple Heart for wounds received in combat. His journey for experiencing and seeing new places began as a child born in the Philippines and later adopted. He has traveled the world seeing and experiencing all the beauty that the world has to offer.

Fast forward to today and Jason is shifting his work from the fast-paced world of professional sporting events and breaking news stories to capturing the beauty of wingshooting. This was brought on by his wife, Jamie, who accompanied her grandfather on Field Trialing trips as a young girl and running dogs for sport. When Jamie and Jason are not away from home and building their kennel, they're traveling and spending time with family. The journey to capture wingshooting events, hunting expeditions, and the art and culture of the sport allows the two of them to spend more time together and ride out the rest of their days spending time outdoors and surrounded by people and experiences that align with their lifestyle.

A few snaps from Kevin’s Game Fair hosted by @kevinscatalog. What a wonderful event with wonderful people, food, education, products, and of course - dogs.

My wife and I love the English Cocker Spaniel for a multitude of reasons from their inherent ability as flushers to being amazing family companions. Plus another great attribute to them is that they fit well into our Jeep and Bronco Raptor for roadtrips! 😜

After my time with the Army in 2004 came to an end, like many Veterans, I found myself navigating the “real world” and was presented with challenges. I knew I needed to find some way to channel all of the things I was experiencing.

Much to my surprise in 2015, I found myself hiking from Denver to Durango along the Colorado Trail with a camera in my hand taking photos of trees, mountains, rivers, waterfalls, and wildlife. It didn’t take long for me to find a love and passion for photography.

Fast forward to today and I have found myself immersed in assignments as a freelance photographer with The Associated Press, Getty Images, and other notable media outlets covering pivotal sports and news events from being up close and personal with Donald Trump to the Super Bowl.

Knowing that my days are numbered, I have found it important to spend more time with my wife and family and get back to the things that mean the most to me. Having the opportunity to capture Upland Hunting expeditions, its people, the art of the sport, and its culture is something very special to me as it connects me with the outdoors and affords me more time to be with my wife.

Live for making memories and die with the excuses.

What is “Burpee’s?”

The word Burpee’s refers to Burpee’s Mill located on our family property, just outside of the city limits of Newnan, Georgia. Established in 1888, it has stood the test of time for over a century and is an eye-catching monument to the history and beauty of our town.

For me, it serves as an example to what hard work and dedication can achieve; which are two vital assets that I pour into my work and home life everyday.
