Take the time to see! Jack is a freelance stock photographer who specializes in nature and wildlife images. His travels take him all over the continental United States in search of opportunities to capture fleeting glimpses of nature's beauty and share it with others. As a self taught photographer Jack's enjoyment of nature, love of the outdoors, and a creative eye have proved to compliment his image production of pretty subjects. Unfortunately most people travel through their lives too quickly to really see the beauty in what surrounds them on a daily basis. Having spent over thirty two years flying over the world sometimes faster than the speed of sound yet mainly at .82 mach (approximately eight miles a minute) Jack is aware of our fast paced lives. He certainly enjoys being in the woods photographing and observing activities that most people never get to see or experience. About us Jack and his beautiful wife, Karen, currently live in the woods of Sunset, Texas. Sunset is located a little over an hour drive north of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex area. It is an area of rolling hills covered in oak trees. Bobcats, coyotes, gray foxes, whitetail deer, raccoons, armadillos, and wild turkeys in great abundance frequent our land. Turkeys are around all the time in either the front of the house or in the rear of the house. Our pond helps attract the variety of wildlife including numerous ducks in the winter time. Photographing in one's own backyard is a delight. In their thirty two plus years of marriage they have lived in Arkansas, Guam, Oregon, West Virginia, Louisiana, and Texas. The light of their lives have been their two children. Jeff graduated from Florida Tech University and flew OH-52 Scout Helicopters as an officer in the Army. He and his wife, Sandy, and son, Hayden, live in Pennsylvania. Jeff flies for an emergency helicopter company as well as Black Hawk helicopters in the Pennsylvania National Guard. Our daughter, Kristin, graduated from Texas A&M University. Kristin earned her Masters of Business Administration from the University of Colorado. Kristin now lives and works in Croatia where she is an executive with Commercial Metals Corporation. Community activity We believe that it is very important to give something back to the community that we live in. Karen volunteers as an ombudsmen for the Area Agency on Aging of North Texas. Karen also voluteers at the Dallas Fort Worth Airport as an Airport Ambassador. They help passengers by giving directions, advice, answer a multitude of questions, and assorted customer service which we know the airlines do not give anymore. Airline executives at most airlines have forgotten who pays the bills. They are only interested in the cost of fuel, employee costs, and their bonus. Jack has taught archery to young people for over twenty four years. He continues to instruct and to officiate at local, state, and national archery tournaments. Jack is an active participant with the Bowie, Texas Chamber of Commerce recently having photographed the chamber's Chuck Wagon Cookoff during the Jim Bowie Days celebration.

Jack has taught a basic photography class at the local community college as part of their continuing education program for the community. Jack has given several one day photographic seminars to various 4-H clubs as well as digital slide show presentations to numerous civic groups.
