Web developer, musician and photographer, geek. I've been shooting since I was 12 when my father got me my first Nikon - an EM. I lost touch with my interest until 2005 when my father (again) helped usher me into the digital age. Now, I shoot semi-professionally and love every minute of it.
I have a blog.jeffbalke.com and write a music industry blog at Chron.com. I also play in the band, orange is in here in Houston. Mostly, I'm a nerd, who co-owns a web development company.
I'm happy I found Flickr for many reasons, but especially for all the friends I've made. Flickr is a great community of people.
If you want to find out more, I'm easy to find. :)

intelligent and stylish vision are hallmarks of jeff's carefully considered images. there is a sense of casual elegance and honesty in jeff's work that is terrifically engaging and satisfying. i'm a fan.
Jeff's photos are technically terrific, artistically blossoming, and never less-than-completely interesting. I think he's a hidden gem on Flickr, one just waiting to be discovered. I consider myself very lucky to have found him.
First Jeff takesamazing photos. Second - he takes the time to contribute to the flickr and Houston communities in so many other ways. Including perhaps writing long flickr mail to help newbies when we got started. I nominate Jeff to be the official Houston Ambassador on flickr!
