Thanks for finding my photostream! It's great to share it with you!

Photography gives me a chance to pause. I feel like its easy to ignore the immediate context that i live in. I see photography as an opportunity to explore what I see in a more active way.

Its really exciting to see through the eyes of all the flickr addicts like me. There is such a wealth of talent on flickr and I feel like a mere student.

Apart from the wonderful flickr community I am intrigued by the work of Elliott Erwitt, Walker Evans, Tomio Seike, Gabriel Figueroa, Alfred Steiglitz, Andre Kertesz, Dorothy Norman, Anton Corbijn, and countless other photographers.

I greatly appreciate your willingness to share your thoughts. Please feel free to leave any comments or criticism. All your comments and favs are greatly appreciated.

I don't care for the glitzy awards that distract from the photographic images so I would appreciate if you would avoid leaving any comments with graphics. I welcome all your feedback, but if you would like me to join a group please just drop me a line.

I also want to note that I will likely not add you as a contact if you don't leave any comments on my flickr page. One of the things that is amazing at Flickr the social interaction.

Cheers!

    "Jacob is an incredible photographer who is able to capture the uniqueness and beauty all around him in such unusual and creative ways. I especially love the way he showcases light in his images. It takes a very special and talented eye to be able to do that and Jacob's got it.

    I am thankful and honored to be one of Jacob's contacts. He is an incredibly kind person and an amazing contact who always takes the time to leave thoughtful comments.

    "Jacob's flickr ID of 'light detail' really does reflect and say alot about him..One of the things I noticed right away while looking through his photostream, is his ability to capture the most beautiful lighting in
    his work..He also has such a good eye for catching the small details others might miss..I admire this!
    I've only known Jacob for a short time but, if his pictures reflect who he is as a person(and I know they do :) ), I'm looking forward to getting to know him even better..He has been a wonderful Flickr friend..very sincere and warm..Thank you, Jacob, for sharing your photography and friendship with us on this site..You definitely make it a wonderful place to visit! :)

    Oh, and if you have the time, I especially recommend watching Jacob's "Landscapes" photography set as a slideshow..I did that one night while drinking my coffee and I enjoyed it very much..Have your sound turned up also..There is a little surprise in that set..It made my day to hear it as my house was covered in a foot of snow at the time...cheers! :)"

    "Jacob, you area easily one of the nicest, funniest, friendliest people I have met on Flickr!

    Your photostream is full of wonderful surprises... I love how you play with light and colour, and you always have such a unique perspective. I really admire your creativity! I always visit your photostream knowing that I'm about to see something different and beautiful.

    Your 'Sandstone Cascade' is one of my favourite photos on Flickr! It's just one example of what I absolutely love about your photostream. I'm so happy we stumbled across each other on Flickr :-)

    "Jacob is a very special person, with a style unique in the world and I am so glad we were destined to meet here on flickr. His photography captures the essence of nature with an eye for light that deserves his flickr name. I have enjoyed each of his trips through the deserts and canyons, as well as towns. He notices each small detail and composes photos that are like gifts to bring back and share. Each one holds the promise of an infinite amount of care. This is how I know he will make a fine father. He is a tremendous friend.

    Thank you, Jacob for your kindness and your support and your excellence.
    With friendship,
