I agree with you on the jazz connection.
And, I know what you mean about the techie thing (I'm no techie, but I'm a jazz fan). In addition, I would think that many techies are attracted to photography due to the technology that goes into cameras these days. There has to be an appreciation of that aspect, which might attract some who then find it a wonderful artistic release.

I don't find either connection too surprising.
Jazz and photography are both free-expression art forms, so there ary many people who choose photography as their artistic outlet, but who appreciate jazz. (I'm not one of them, though).
As for us techies: I'm no good at realising my artistic goals using other media (music, oil paints, whatever). But photography lets me leave a lot of the grunt work to the equipment, and to concentrate on more of the composition side of the deal.
