Jupiter,
Florida, USA (April 16, 2013) -- Light
Space & Time Online Art Gallery (LST) is
pleased to announce that fine art photographer; Don Jacobson is now
the gallery's featured artist. Don has participated in many of the
gallery's past art competitions and he has placed in every art
exhibition that he competed in!
The world of photography and the world of the natural wonders of the Sierra Nevada opened to Don Jacobson simultaneously. The photographs he took with his little Kodak Brownie were woefully inadequate to express the grandeur of the Range of Light. Within a week of his first backpack trip into the high country, he bought his first SLR, a Pentax Spotmatic and began to take photography classes.

Don's
degree is in electrical engineering and he worked in that field for
three years. Working for the defense industry became more of a
contradiction with his political views initiating a search for a
desperately needed a creative outlet. For the next twenty-eight years
he worked as a glassblower. His work was shown in galleries across
the United States, and the Corning Museum included a piece of his in
their 1986 collection of 200 international glassblowers. Although
glassblowing was his "day job," he continued to practice
the art of photography, studying photography with Edmund Teske at
UCLA for a year. The two different mediums are connected by light.
The magic of glass is in its ability to transmit and reflect light
while photography is the capturing of light.
Don
states this about his art and photography, "I see the world
differently now. The camera, which narrows the field of vision, has
actually expanded my vision. When I realized I was viewing reality as
if it were a series of photographs, I initially questioned that
perspective. Now, I know my perception is enhanced and enriched from
my pursuit of photography. An already dynamic and interesting world
has become more so." Don's work can be found at
