"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". Although he has finallly embraced the digital darkroom, Jack jokes that he is not a "computer junky" but
rather, prefers to focus on vision and artistry. "It's about simplicity and passion." -jd
