just thought i share this with everyone in the OR community, even though i know it's no biggie, when compared to many of the folks over here. i was approached to help out with this a while back, and i happily obliged, and i tried to do my best. =) nonetheless, i'm still a novice compared to many greats out there.

Cool write up Jono. Thanks for sharing. It's impressive how humble you remain even though you have a collection of awesome pieces!

Hey, it looks like Jono is in the "non-OR" Spotlight! Congrats, man! Nice write-up!

Very cool read, thanks for sharing Jono. While there is often familiar themes among our stories and passion for the o, it is always fun to get a glimpse of another collector's take on things.

It is interesting that something similar to the Spotlight is out there.

Well done Jono!

thanks for the kind words guys. means a hell lot. just thought i would share how it all began for me. =) pretty sure everyone has their own beginning like what Paul said.

@Nate: it's pretty easy to remain humble actually, especially when surrounded by others who has accomplished a lot more than i have. haha! =)i just need to visit the OR whenever i feel "Big-Headed", and i'll be brought right back down to earth. ha!

Nice interview Jono. And remaining humble is indeed not that difficult when you are on the OR, haha. Also I can imagine when you live in a country that isn't that much O oriented as the USA or Australia, it is quite easy to stay humble. Here in The Netherlands there are quite a lot of people that don't even know the O :O

Keep the good collecting mate!

Nicely done. You need to submit some answers for the OR collectors spotlight too, I think.

i agree with dann!

ha! i'm not worthy for sure, my honest opinion.

I say this in the friendliest of ways: shut the fook up!

Do what THE MAN says, period.
It'll be a great way to celebrate your 1-year anniversary on here!

You got 9 days left - now get to work, slacker!

agreed, keep the spotlight feature moving, its been a bit slow lately...

Congrats, very nice Jono!

Do what THE MAN says, period.

well if THE MAN do ask me to contribute, i'll have no problem at all! it's thanks to him and the others, that i even have a place like the OR to come and visit at the end of each day! ha!

go for it , and i enjoyed reading the article

Please, we need more spotlights. No collection is too small, and yours is certainly not small.

just tell me the way to go about doing it, and i'll give it a shot i suppose. =)

Gather about 20 photos, and then send me your answers to the questions on the spotlight pages. They're all the same.

i'll get right to it once Xmas is over, should be just in time to mark my 1st year being part of this fantastic community! =)

Awesome, look forward to it.
