“I saw this young boy lingering outside the entrance to the Gypsy community. I could not interpret the meaning of his face — what I saw was sadness. When I returned home my daughter said, "He looks like he is pouting." Recently I returned to the same community and spotted the boy again. His face was the same, but this time he hid his face and did not want his picture taken. I took photographs of others for a while and he came up to me with his little sister and I took a photo of him with a slight smile, but his sister was not happy. Living in the gypsy community is hard living — the uncertainty of life.”

Jerry and his wife Sylvia have participated in many trips with Remember the Children. Over the years, Jerry’s skill of photography has been a gift as he observed and captured moments that added a depth of meaning and understanding. We are thankful for the generous donation of 12 of Jerry’s pieces to raise funds for orphan care and church planting in Romania and Tanzania. 11 of the 12 are framed between sheets of glass with open edging and attached wire. The dimensions for all pieces are 17’’ by 23’’ including the mat and frame.

Jerry is a retired Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist and a former educator and administrator in both public and private schools. He also taught Photography in Harford Community College's Continuing Education Program.

He currently shoots with a Nikon D850 and assorted Nikon lenses; he also uses the Nikon Coolpix P1000 super zoom.
