Although I have been shooting for several years, I have just begun a journey at The Art Institute of Virginia Beach. This Photostream is a chronicle of the many changes I have undergone since my beginnings at as a photographer. I started out as j. Mac Photography, transformed into Peridot Images as I became more skilled & then some major changes happened - I had a name change & moved to Virginia Beach where I became a bit more serious & professional in regards to my art. Like a butterfly emerging out of a chrysalis, I am now j. Gleason Photography. I hope you will join me on my journey of self discovery as a photographer - enjoy the ride!
