A picture is worth a thousand words, and Jamie loved to take photographs. Once he met Betsy, he learned that she loved photography as much as he did.
The Nikon FM served as a good workhorse camera for many adventures. Early on, the preferred medium was Kodachrome slides – those old, two by two inch cardboard mounted transparencies. Then “Santa Jamie” surprised his family their first digital camera for Christmas in December 2000. (He always bought something he wanted for himself, and wrapped and labeled it “to the family from Santa Jamie,” leaving it under the Christmas tree.) It was an early Nikon Coolpix.
Once the joy of digital photography was discovered, he needed a waterproof digital camera for boating trips, so a bright yellow Fuji waterproof camera was added to the photography arsenal. And then the manual SLR Nikon was replaced with an automatic digital Nikon at some point because it could make use of the telephoto and other lenses previously used with the manual SLR camera. This came in handy during the soccer years for those zoomed in action photos taken from the sidelines.
And so it goes…because Jamie always believed you needed the right equipment to do a good job. When the book project took shape, Jamie enlisted the help of friends, colleagues, and family to help him scan slides that corresponded to sections of his book. Selections from those thousands of scanned slides and prints, and some originally digital images are included in the albums contained with this photo gallery.
