About Jackie
Here is a little bit of who makes up our team.
Jackie became interested in photography at a young age when her father showed her how to make a picture, from a negative, using an envelope and the sun. Her first developed picture was a photo of Hopalong Cassidy. Jackie then took classes in darkroom developing and started creating her own photos, all in black and white. When the digital camera was developed she continued to take pictures but then wanted to know how to make them better using digital technology. Seven years later people began to really like what she was doing. From their feedback Jackie began submitting her works of art to contest sites, which matched her works with others and let the professional community vote on them. She was so surprised at the awards she won from around the world voters! Jackie began to get into the photo editing and restoration when a friend asked her if she could “fix” an old photo. She dove right in and cleaned up the photo. That was a great experience for her, especially the look on his face. Guess who got hooked. Jackie’s work focuses on the beauty of Florida, there is so much beauty in our back yard literally, birds, flowers, trees, beaches and so on. Of course, she also works with shots from different parts of the country also.
