About this ebook
Don Jacklin
Born in May 1940 to the crashing accompanyment of Nazi bombers during their Blitz on Sheffield steel City, I survived and was brought up by loving parents and grandparents who formed my character and shaped my life. Luckily I attended the Rowlinson Secondary Technical School in it’s heyday with a leaning towards engineering: alas no more as it sank into the pool of grey comprehensive system education. My regular full time occupation was as a professional design engineer of heating and building services based in North England and travelling to numerous sites in the course of my career. For many of my active years I was a member of the Phoenix Mountaineering Club including a term as President and underwent many treks and climbs across the Himalaya. I have also travelled to seek out wild landscapes in Patagonia, Australia, Khirgistan, the U.S.A. India and Tibet. I have been a long time member of Dronfield Camera Club, The Leica Society and the Photographic Association of Great Britain as photography has been a big part of my life. Since my teen years I have continually tried to catch photo glimpses of people and things I found interesting and it is good for me in my 80th. year to look back on these with fondness.

Technical Information
The date is 2019. This winter I checked through my assembly of Monochrome images which began in 1959 using my modest Leica 1 of pre-war vintage and recognised that it was a long sixty years ago. So the title of this book is "Sixty Years in Sixty minutes. Numbers and dates punctuate our lives and in this particular instance, it took me sixty minutes, just one hour, to gather a representative selection of Monochrome images which make up my life’s story in pursuit of Black and White print expression. Of course, I am hardly known in photo circles outside my habitat of South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire but like many of my camera friends, we have studied the works of past generations of the classic photographers whom we adored in various degrees and it has surely affected our styles. We all see and photograph our world differently and I make the point that this portfolio will be quite unlike any other production: no better, no worse but certainly different. As my learned colleagues point out, it is the differences in us that make photography interesting.
I have owned and enjoyed the use of many makes of camera and found them all to be fascinating instruments. They all have their foibles and it is hard to choose a favourite. Some are better suited to a task than others and if you have access to many models then pick the one that suits you best. I still think that cameras are secondary, the picture on the wall is the important end result that counts. All cameras these days are reliable and good enough to support 20x 16
exhibition prints. Technical skill should be taken for granted with the capture and processing. It is up to the individual to show his subject as an honest and genuine presentation without misleading manipulation. For me, Monochrome has that everlasting graphic appeal: the lack of colour seems to add curiosity and perhaps mystique of an abstract
