Please allow me to tell you about Jack (pictured with
Phinn, above.) I am Elizabeth Pearson, his wife. It is
my pleasure to introduce you to my photographer husband.
Jack wasn't born with a camera in his hand but he might
as well have been. He always had a keen eye and an
impressive sense of creativity but didn't hone his
talent until after spending more than 30 years in the
computer industry. Finally, he decided to make his
photography more than a hobby.
His favorite pictures were of nature, particularly
birds, and the wonderful scenic opportunities he found
here at the Indiana Dunes as well as while vacationing.
He loved Mackinac Island, and has had his work featured
at the Richard and Jane Manoogian Mackinac Art Museum as
well as several island shops.
Jack’s photography has appeared in Birds and Blooms
magazine, Bicycle Times magazine, Into the
Nest (a nesting bird reference book by Laura
Erickson and Marie Read) and various regional calendars,
postcards, and displays. Additionally, Jack was active
in the stock photography market (pictures sold to
businesses and companies for their marketing needs.)
Along with being an amazing photographer, Jack was a
wonderful man. He was thoughtful, engaging, and funny.
Phinn was his best pal and expert photographer's
assistant. Sadly, Jack's life was cut way too short in
February, 2019 after an eight-month battle with
malignant metastatic melanoma. He would have been amazed
to hear how many people were touched by his photos,
and by his caring and genuine interest in others. My
goal here is to keep his legacy alive through his
photography. I'm so grateful to still have this piece of
him.
All profits from the work sold here (unless otherwise
indicated) are donated to three
worthy organizations:
