JACK ROSENBERG
PHOTOGRAPHY
After graduating from Brooklyn College, I was a microbiologist for several years. My next incarnation was as a medical supply salesman to doctors and hospitals. My growing interest in antique jewelry led me to become, along with my wife, Judith, co-founder and C.E.0. of Judith Jack, Inc., a jewelry design firm with international sales. Together with the design staff, I took pleasure in putting my own ideas into play.
After selling the business and retiring, my artistic side flowered. Charcoals, drawing, painting and sculpting became part of my ever-expressing means of creativity. My awareness of shapes, colors, textures and forms in their splendor impelled me to continue to investigate a variety of methods and materials.
Then I discovered photography! I'd found my true love! Looking through a lens helps me see and appreciate the world around me in a new and exciting manner and shuts out everything except what I see in the lens. It's the perfect medium for me. It permits me to fully and continuously express my artistic vision and share my passion with others.
My fundamental belief is that everything in our physical surroundings can become the subject of a meaningful photograph. I try to capture and express the essence of what I see through my lens. I relish humanizing inanimate objects and creating scenes from unexpected sources.
Every photograph tells a unique story - real or imagined - and, hopefully evokes thought and pleasure in the viewer's mind.
The photographs here reflect my ongoing labor and explorations, allowing me to share my artistic sensibilities and pleasure with a wider audience. I truly hope they are enjoyed!

Judith and I share another passion, our desire to make the world a kinder, gentler place for children at risk. We have established Non-Sectarian funds in memory of our son, David. First, at the Police Athletic League in NYC - the David Rosenberg Fishing Adventure Fund - on behalf of inner-city children.
Presently, we've designed and furnished a playroom for psychologically impaired children at the Alpert Jewish Family and Children's Service in West Palm Beach and also sponsor the "Judith & Jack Rosenberg Mentoring for Kids" program.
I very much enjoyed mentoring two boys from the ages of 12 and 8.
Donations are very welcome at the Alpert Jewish Family & Children's Service, (AJFCS) in West Palm Beach, Florida. Our hope is that children of all denominations will continue to benefit from our efforts.
