Today Mark concentrates mainly on video and still photography, with the horse being one of his favored subjects. His name is well respected and his still photography images are seen worldwide in books, magazines, calendars, and brochures.

Although Mark travels far and wide to photograph beautiful subjects, he can most often be found at his home, with wife Jackie, in Silver Springs, Florida. Mark can be contacted via his web site at www.markjbarrett.com.

Jackie Barrett was educated and employed in the
sciences for several years before returning to school
in the arts. Her study of the arts began with photography.
Although traditional techniques were an art form she
respected, she was always experimenting with the
limits of the media. The Polaroid instant films offer so
much more flexibility than originally intended by the
manufacturer. These SX-70 prints were exposed, then
manipulated by drawing on the surface before the
development time was complete. During this time,
the dyes beneath the surface can be mixed and
redistributed to create a surreal effect. The degree of
manipulation depends on the mood or feel of the scene.
This technique combines the realism of a photograph
and the interpretive style of illustration. Her subjects
vary from scenics to architectural detail, portraits,
and still life. Each small scene is like an oil or acrylic
painting on a more personal scale.
