August - December, 2006 Featured Artist:

Kelly Jackson

 

In her own words:

"Last summer, to celebrate my thirtieth birthday and the beginning of my third year as a self-employed photographer, I headed overseas to start my fine art portfolio. What you see here are some of my favorites from three weeks in Italy.

I tried to go without preconceived ideas of what and how I should shoot. Instead, I walked through towns watching people and noticing details. I chased after light, sometimes waiting for things to be just right and sometimes rounding a corner to an unexpected surprise. These are the moments I wanted to catch so I could travel back and relive them again.

From the monks walking the streets of Florence to the old men who spent an afternoon in the center of San Gimignano enjoying life, this was my experience. I simply caught it the way I was compelled, documenting the things and people that made my first trek through Italy an experience like entering Narnia. No obsession with the details, no staging of the composition or the casting and directing of the people. Just clicks of the shutter to help my mind remember the beauty and sweetness of life in Italy.

I spend the majority of my time professionally working as a high school senior portrait artist. Other interests include engagement, pregnancy, infant, children, and wedding photography."
