Jen Kano Photography

About Jen Kano

Jen Kano

I have been taking pictures since my parents gave me an old box camera (Kodak Duaflex I) when I was about seven years old. The camera was older than I was and was the first in a long succession of point-and-shoot cameras that I was to own over the next 50 years. I enjoyed taking pictures with every one of those cameras, but it wasn't until the dawning of the digital age that I really started to blossom as a photographer.

While I enjoy shooting a wide variety of subjects, I seem to have a particular affinity for nature and wildlife, probably because I have always had a very deep appreciation for Mother Nature's artistry. I feel privileged to be able to capture some of her artwork through photography and strive to do it justice.

My work can be seen at the Cataumet Arts Center, and I am a Juried Artist Member in Fine Art Photography at the Cape Cod Art Association.

I spend most of my spare time on photography, but web site design and development is what pays the bills. I am a graphic designer schooled in the days before desktop publishing. In spite of that, I switched entirely to web design in 1996. I have always offered photo services to clients that need it and continue to do commercial work as part of my business. See my WebWorks Design site for more information.
