Jack caught on camera!

Jack led the way
Starting with one of the earliest portable video cameras, Jack dove onto the scene and documented pivotal moments in counter-culture, dedicating himself to his craft until his death in 2014. A true visionary, artist and visual explorer, Jack experimented with this early technology - akin to the Victorian-era photographers who helped with the development of still and moving images - Jack was one of the first. He really was looking to the future.
