After graduating from a series of point and shoot cameras, I started my DSLR journey with a Canon Digital Rebel, then the Canon 7D, then the Canon 5D Mark III, and now the Canon 5D Mark IV. Though I enjoy many types of photography, including still life, food, macros, portraits, children, families, etc. my cameras get a real workout when we're traveling. Since retirement, we have taken many fabulous international trips to every continent including Antarctica, and I've now been to more than 50 countries. Between trips, I’m editing images and archive-diving for gems from past travels.
I am an Adobe Stock Contributor and an Adobe Community Expert, and you'll find me hanging out on the Adobe Community Forums, learning from others and providing guidance where I can. My Adobe Portfolio is available at: jjclardy.myportfolio.com/

I have known Jill for quite some time now. She has always been a great photographer, but seems to be growing in leaps and bounds each day. It is quite evident that photography is Jill's passion... there is a huge difference been a hobby and a passion, and it shows in her work. From still lifes to landscapes to nature.... she moves with ease between each of her subjects and they all represent her keen eye for composition and style. Not only is Jill known for her beautiful work, but she is truly one of my most valuable contacts.... She doesn't desert you if you post an image that may not be exactly to her liking, but instead sees the beauty in what the eye of the beholder sees and always finds something nice to say about another's viewpoint. The best about her is her friendship and sense of humor. Jill is a wonderful artist and I am so glad to know her.

I've had the pleasure to get to know Jill through the magic of Flickr this last 18 months or so.....and I think you will agree with one look through her photostream what a talented photographer she is when she is behind her lens. What you might not know is that she is also one classy lady - a lady who takes the time to comment repeatedly on others photos and to let them know what she likes about their images. A comment from her is always such a pleasant occurrence and it is people like Jill that make Flickr such a wonderful community of photographers. I am pleased to now call Jill a friend.
