Weekly Photo Tip

Who needs post?

Direct from the camera. Who needs post-production?

I bought a Fuji X100F camera since the V version was unavailable for much longer than I cared to wait.

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.
