Jean Nored Cornell

I carry my camera with curiosity, humor and compassion, and a desire to bring you with me.

I grew up in a small town near Austin. My love for photography came naturally; My parents were amateur photographers, so I grew up in a photography darkroom. I was in high school when they gave me my first "real" camera…a used Pentax 35mm. I had only expressed a passing interest in photography at the time. In their wisdom, my parents decided I should have the opportunity to record my life's adventures as they had. Little did they know what a profound impact that gift would have on my life. The most significant part of the gift is my camera helps me not take our world for granted.

I received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Texas Tech, which gave me an exceptional design background. So it is only natural that the most satisfying aspect of photography for me is its potential for creativity.

I am fortunate enough to make my bed in two places...San Angelo, Texas, and Alpine, Texas, so clearly, I'm a sucker for the vast beauty of Texas.
