"For me photography is not about the latest gadget or spending hours in front of a computer. It's about
being in a special place at a special time and connecting with whatever God has placed before me - then creating an expression of
that experience". Jack jokes that he is not a "technical guru" but rather, prefers to focus on vision and artistry.
"It's about simplicity and passion." -jd
