Personal blog of photographer, father, and technology geek Steve Jackle.
This week was “Dining with Dads” week at Hilburn Elementary. I was happy I could take a break to have some lunch with my daughter Sophia. From her smile and excitement, I gathered that my lunch surprise worked. Also, the PTA was looking for some images to capture this week for the yearbook. I volunteered…
The holiday season is an exciting and busy time for all of us. We have family get-togethers as well as school related functions for our children. Sophia had a Thanksgiving educational party in her classroom just before the Thanksgiving holiday. The students created a Thanksgiving tree that represented things that they made them thankful.

I spent the Thanksgiving weekend in southern Indiana. It is the special place for my family. It is great to get back to the farm country that my father enjoyed when he grew up. We also had a great opportunity to spend some time with my uncle and aunt, cousins, and the matriarch of the…

Here are some shots I took of Park and Rec Panther cheerleaders at recent Panthers vs. Rams game. Patty, the girls fearless leader and coach sets up the next cheer as a football coach advises a…
Here are few creatures we saw since the rain kept us from playing on the beach. We said the word “snakes” and Sophia was all into it. So Dad, Sophie and I went to the Cape Fear Serpentarium in Wilmington, NC. Here are a few shots of some reptiles. We were greeted at the…
Ok, for the followers of the “Then and Now” section of this blog, my father was the photographer who took the lion share of the “then” pictures. He did it the old fashioned way using film and a darkroom. Man things are easier now for all of us digital photographers. I am still trying to…
