After a serendipitous purchase of some well-used camera gear from one of her co-workers, Gail Des Jardin dove into photography, and was on her way to documenting the often forgotten, or simply missed, moments that comprise day-to-day life.

"I like to think that I am able to find the extraordinary in the ordinary."

This theme is easily evident in the photos she makes. Scenes that others might pass without a second glance, she captures in a way that makes one wonder how it could ever have been missed in the first place.

Based in Atlanta, Gail has moved beyond the well-worn film camera she purchased in 1992 and into the digital realm, but her photography still harkens the days of photography as a form of documenting and capturing everyday moments as art.
