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 of an oil or acrylic painting on a more personal scale.
