Jorn C. Olsen
In 1997, Jorn purchased his first digital camera and became enthralled with the possibilities of digital photography. In January 2005, he purchased a wide format color printer and began printing large photographs for friends, who encouraged him to market his work. The photographs of the unusual and spectacular Mammatus Cloud formation (below), he captured on June 12, 2004 have brought him a great deal of notoriety. Most of Jorn's photographs are from Nebraska, but in recent years he has expanded his collection past the borders of Nebraska. He has recently published a book entitled "Across a Wide Horizon" which will be available for purchase during this time.
