This is the second part of the interview; read the first part here.

Last year I mentioned that I intended to interview some of the clever creative people that I know. Here is the second of those interviews, with photographer Jon Cartwright, aka Jonny2005. I got to know Jon through mutual drinking buddies a few years ago. We'd occasionally see each other at the same social events, but it wasn't until we discovered we were both avid users of Flickr that we really became friends. Since then, looking at his street photography and painterly compositions has helped to rekindle my interest in parts of London that had previously seemed clichéd and boring.

Although Jon agreed to be interviewed because it sounded "like a laugh", our correspondence became a fascinating discourse on being bitten by the creative bug, as he made some very interesting and intelligent points about the craft of photography, with each point made inspiring further questions and considerations, many of which were in directions I hadn't even considered. In fact, Jon's answers were so detailed and inspired so many supplemental questions that I've had to split the interview into two parts — and stop asking more questions, or the interview would probably never even have made it this far, even though I could happily have continued the conversation for a while. I'm interested to know what you think about it, as well, so please do leave comments if you have anything to say.
