2019: The Year of the Great Image

New Year = New Beginnings

It’s almost here–the new year that brings hope, joy and a fresh start to many plans. I like to think of New Year’s Day as a door just waiting to be opened and the light will be green for photography time. Remember: it’s not what’s in your camera bag, it’s what you do with it.                                  

Happy New Year Everyone!

About Jack

A classically trained musician since childhood, Jack Carlson always had the “ear” of an artist. It was only a short step to develop the artist’s “eye” as well.

The portfolio of this certified photographer reveals images that emphasize mood and composition. Their purpose is to present a feeling in addition to portrayal of person, place or thing. Sometimes that feeling is nostalgia; other times it is serenity.

Each photograph tells a story.
