It's nice to share the beauty of nature and the world around me as I see it...

I appreciate your comments.

If you would care to write a testimonial, I would appreciate that also!

I am a retired art director/graphic designer.

You can see some of my Brand Designs

(done over the past 50+ years.

on my Facebook pages: Jack Spiegel

or Graficspiegel.

I enjoy nature and the outdoors. I find nature is a great source for design and endless colors. Creative inspiration is everywhere. Almost 70 years in Scouting, has given me opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Photography has allowed me to capture what I see in nature.

“You don’t take a photograph, you make it.” - Ansel Adams

“Beauty can be seen in all things, seeing and composing the beauty is what separates the snapshot from the photograph.” – Matt Hardy

A remarkably inspirational quote by the respectable photographer Elliott Erwitt:

“To me, photography is an art of observation.

It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place...

I've found it has little to do with the things you see

and everything to do with the way you see them.”

it’s not the technology used to take the photograph that makes a photo great, it’s the person taking the photo —

their expertise, experience, vision, and imagination.
