Jack Jordan began his lifelong pursuit of photography taking pictures with a Brownie box camera at summer camp when he was six years old.  His parents encouraged his passion for photography by giving him a Brownie Hawkeye camera.  During his school years, Jack continued to photograph family and yearbook events.  

Upon leaving the Air Force, Jack enrolled in the Professional Photography Program at the Rochester Institute of Technology, earning a Bachelor of Science.  His first job found him photographing surgical procedures at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester.  Upon moving to Phoenix, Jack joined the staff at Markow Photography, photographing many notable events such as the 1971 Phoenix Pro-Am golf tournament.  Jack's next job took him back to the medical field, photographing surgery, patients, and other assignments at the Arizona Heart Institute.  Five years later, he joined the Phoenix Fire Department as Staff Photographer, remaining until retirement, twenty-two years later.  

Jack's retirement has been filled mostly with Trip Leading and Board of Director assignments at Arizona Highways Photoscapes.  Jack has led or participated in over 60 AHPS photo workshops in the last 25 years.  Of course, there have been many photo excursions in the USA and at least twelve foreign countries.  In addition to this website, Jack continues to work on several book projects.
