I've been making photographs since the age of 9, when my parents gave me my first box Brownie 620 film camera.. My interest began in earnest in my late teens and the neverending pursuit of "the light" continues to this day. I've studied with the best art photographers in the world and though I consider myself strictly amateur, photography and art are my true passions in life. Stylistically, I like to let the images lead me in whatever direction they seem to demand, whether clean and pure or grubby and processed; I love many visual "looks". I am attempting to present the idealized visions that I see "in my mind's eye". I love making photographs and will continue to do so for the rest of my days.

Having this online outlet for one's art and sharing it with the world is all any artist could want; flickr has made a dream possible for thousands of artist / photographers like myself.

One of my photographs Ullswater Barn; was selected by the Tate Gallery in London in August 2007 for their exhibit "How We Are Now" and put into their permanent archive:

And I am so delighted that on August 18th, 2009, this photo, "RADIO"

RADIO

won a second place award in the cityscapes category at the 2009 International Photography Awards.

This is me 28 years ago (in 1983) and today:

    "Despite a long time on flickr, and a great number of amazing contacts I've collected, I've never written a testimonial before. But, I KNOW these areas that Jody photographs, and thus can truly appreciate the technical and artistic eye she employs in capturing them. A true artist here..."

    "I used to watch the Utata pool waiting for Jody to post a photo, then I got tired of missing so many and made her a contact. I love her eye and how she sees things not just when she hits the shutter, but how she sees things in their end state. Really just a master at processing and making the beautiful, extraordinary."

    "I can't believe I haven't written Jody a testimonial until now! Her work has been inspiring me for as long as I've been on Flickr. It is always gorgeous, always creative, always unique. Her landscapes can be dreamy and romantic, or succinct and concise. Her work also inspires me, somehow, to be adventurous. :)"

    "Jody was one the first persons who commented my photos when I joined Flickr. I saw that she started taking photos when she was a child like myself.
    I looked at her photos, I knew we liked to travel many of the same roads. Same places, but she has a totally unique take on the locations. She is truly a master at Photoshop and adroitly uses her skills. You can't go wrong looking at her entire photo stream."

    Mai An Hoa says:

    "Jody's signature brilliance has got to be the most recognizable work for me on flickr--the landscapes, though some unpeopled, tell stories of lives. The stillness contains in it the color of motion, the sweep of light and time. Jody inspires with her brilliance and awes with her artistry. Wonderful teachers she has had, yes, but in her photographs are lessons for all of us in the timelessness and grace of beauty."

    "When Jody says she has studied under a variety of photographers, it is clear that she must have been an excellent student. Her work is extraordinary. With a wide swath through macro and panoramic composition, she captures the essence of a subject, as well as its color and texture, with exquisite detail. Her command of the medium is beyond professional, it's classic. I eagerly await her first coffee table book!"
