“There is nothing unimportant in the universe.”
- Ruth Bernhard

I hope that my photographs will convey experience as it’s lived subjectively, especially in the dreamlike moments that we may not always notice as we go about our lives. I hope to discover and reveal the magic in everyday life.

My photographs are available for purchase - please contact me via Flickrmail.

    "Often you feel you've been shown an image that pierces through the veil of reality into a dream like realm. Her images always go far beyond the skill of arranging what is in front of the lens into pleasing order. Jacki's images are always an expressive art.

    Its this skill of abstracting nature, snippets of reality cropped out of the literal world and re shown as a message with new and strong emotion that leaves me in awe. Jacki also amazes me with her total mastery of the holga, a camera that many, including myself find a completely random little machine! I will always enjoy following Jackis stream"

    "For Jacki, photography is a Calling, not a hobby, not a job, apparently not even a choice - photography has chosen her! Her very deep devotion and love for the medium shows in the emotional depth, and photographic breadth of her work, and she is quite prolific as well. Not only that, but she is a generous, supportive, encouraging writer of very special and often poetic comments on the works of others."

    "Jacki's work is truly amazing.

    How she produces a stream of emotion-packed spectacles of delight is beyond me. I can only imagine she has a deep connection to the profound, understands it, lives and breathes it, until the camera becomes a channel for the beauty unseen, the un-noticed magic that lies all around us.

    Her work is consistently awe inspiring. A genius. Go look at it now! :)"

    "the feeling that nature is divine and dazzling. nature is awe. the eyes are swept away by her fotos and not brought back to earth again until the recognition of the fundamental wondrousness of what the intertwinement of looking and light can do, wherever it casts its presence upon."

    "While at first glance FTTL's approach to capturing nature seemingly verges on the abstract, a closer look reveals that she captures a dream-like essence of the experience of nature that is both surreal and real. Through reflections, shadows, rich textures, and thin veils of light, she unfolds the mystery of that experience. Always a pleasure to encounter one of her new photos!"

    "FTTL's images are simply divine. Color or monochrome, abstract or realistic, she always manages to extract the pure moment with her images and brings a fresh vision of the world to our eyes."

    "I truly enjoy a stroll in FTTL's photostream. Such wonderful work should be viewed to inspire one's own vision. Her ability to see and capture that "silvery" light that eludes so many of us is extraordinary."

    "One should really check someone's profile before calling them "the king of abstracts". Since I have discovered that "he" is a "she", I can now officially bestow the title of "queen of abstracts" on FTTL.
    And may I add "princess of double exposures" and "countess of the Holga" as well. Ok, that's it. Can I have my knighthood now?"
