The four corners area, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah
encompass some of the most interesting and diverse sculptured
lands in the United States. From high altitude mountain ranges
to desert monuments, this area of the country hold can a
plethora of different opportunities and experiences for the
photographer. When you stand at the base of Shiprock, or
beholds the natural wonders of Monument Valley's, Tsé Biiʼ
Ndzisgaii Valley of Rocks, there is a true spiritual feeling of awe.
While it is inspiring, it can be quite challenging to create images
that represent the emotion one feels. My hope is that I've
captured at least a semblance of this in the photographs in this
portfolio.
You might say there was a natural collision of circumstances between Jack’s nearly lifelong love of nature, and that of photography. His wondrous journey into nature began when he attended an Outward Bound month-long wilderness course at age 16. At 18, (just over 40 years ago) he picked up his first camera, developed his first B&W print in the darkroom and quickly put his two passions together.
In recent years Jack’s photography has been exhibited in Paris, Athens, Berlin, Moscow, and Malaga Spain and domestically in the US and published internationally.
Awards Jack has been internationally awarded, having won Gold or 1st place in IPA, PX3, ND Awards, Moscow International Foto Awards, Tokyo International Foto Awards, International Gala/Pollux Awards, Black and White Spider Awards and Black and White Photography Magazines Portfolio Awards. Most recently in 2018, Jack was voted the #2 Black and White photographer globally by One Eyeland.
