As a photo artist
Jesse pursues his passion for photographing unique domestic
and international landscapes. The PhotoArtistry
Division of JB Enterprises focuses on capturing the unique
beauty found in the great outdoors. Jesse has photographed
the centuries old Sphinx and pyramids in Egypt, the snowy
caps of the Rocky Mountains and the grandeur of the Grand
Canyon. He has photographed the wilds of Africa's Masai
Mara including a lion commanding his pride, dancing pink
flamingos in the Ngorongoro
Caldera, and snapped away as a cheetah chased and captured a
Thompson gazelle then called her babies to feast on the
remains.
Closer to home, he has captured the scenic wonders of
kayakers challenging the rapids on the Potomac River in the
summer and the autumnal foliage in the fall. His Nikon D70
has captured soft clouds of cherry blossoms around the tidal
basin and the floral beauty of water lilies at the
Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens in Washington, DC.
In a trek across the US he attempted to capture Spring as it
moved north in 2009. This year Spring was a little late and
he passed it by somewhere in Missouri. However the trip
provided him the first extended opportunity to try out his
then new Nikon D300 camera.

The
photo shown above was taken during the course of a 21 day tour
of Peru in October 2008. Stops included the capital city of
Lima, interior cities Arequippa,
Cusco, Puno and a taxi tour of the Sacred Valley. Highlight of
the trip was the beautiful morning spent at the Inca city of
Machu Picchu which has been identified as one of the seven
wonders of the modern world.
Through his lenses, he illustrates for us the sand formations
of Egyptian and American deserts, the torrents of water
flowing over Victoria and Niagara Falls and the sculpted
granite of Arizona's Sedona Red Rock canyons. He photographed
the rivers, flatlands and decaying infrastructure of the
United States on an east to west coast train ride followed by
the beauty of the Canadian Rockies on his west to east coast
return train ride. He captured the swans and early blossoms of
Holland's Keukenhof Gardens, the
canals and bridges of Amsterdam and the temples carved in rock
by Egyptians three thousand years before Christ walked this
earth.
Jesse's interest in photography started while he was in Army
basic training at Fort Pickett, VA. He carried a small Beacon
II camera under his field jacket, surreptitiously taking
pictures of the shared misery of his comrades. His interest
continued when he acquired his first Olympus 35mm camera that
he used to take slide photographs of the seldom seen
California deserts in bloom.
A Systems Engineer fortunate enough to work in scenic locales
around the world, he took advantage of opportunities to create
photographic records of equipment that he designed and tested
on remote atols in the South
Pacific, the Hawaiian Islands, Exuma
Sound in the Bahamas, the Black Forests of Germany, and Lake
Pend O'reille, Idaho. An
assignment at the British Naval shipyard at Portland, England
enabled him to photograph Roman Fortifications built during
the first century.
Jesse is particularly passionate in his pursuit of sunsets and
sunrises and has photographed images of the sunrise at 40
thousand feet over Amsterdam, rising behind the acacia trees
on the Masai Mara plains of Kenya
and over the edges of the Ngorongoro
Caldera. He has captured the sun as it dips below the Pacific
Ocean in Hawaii and the moon as it rises over the Nile River.
Recent photo-treks have taken him to the Grand Tetons and the
Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.
He now has a Nikon D610 full frame camera and is looking for
his next great photo.
