Thank you for visiting my profile here! If you got a friend invite from me, it was because I read your profile and we either share a similar interest in Art, Photography or life in general. If you wish to add me as a friend I hope we have something of good in common from which to build a real friendship on.
Who am I?
"For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen,being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead,so that they are without excuse," ~ Romans 1:20
Artist Statement:
The camera and a lens are like the canvas and brushes of a painter, or the clay of a potter. They plead for you to go out and discover something with them. A photographer then becomes part of the splendid concerto of nature, composing various subjects, textures, colors, shapes, forms, and light into a complete composition. An intimate relationship is established when the artist is alone with wildlife, in the calm silence of wilderness or witnessing a breath-taking exhibit of light on a landscape that may only last but a few fleeting moments. It is said that it is only during these moments when a photographer is truly at place where they can only begin to articulate their passion.Nature photography is an infinite art form allowing James to explore his inner creativity as well as be in touch to the world how he sees it. Through photography, James hopes he can increase others' appreciation for the diminishing natural beauty around them. Peering at the world through a lens has taught James how to see without one. However, making images only goes so far in encouraging and showing appreciation for nature. James enthusiastically encourages anyone with a passion for nature to support one or all of the organizations listed on our links page. Everyday someone is maintaining a fight somewhere in the world to protect what they love so dearly, constant threats against endangered species and critical habitat, making many of our own daily activities seem trivial.

"When I go out into the field the most important question I will have to ask myself is, 'What If?' I think by asking myself that, i open many possibilities for creating new and different image. I don't like to think of myself as a WYSIWYG photographer. For the non-computer geeks, WYSIWYG means, what you see is what you get. I do my best to accurately record the scene before me but then I try to go a step beyond that by manipulating light to intensify color or drama within a scene without adding something that isn't naturally there. While I use filters in my work, I don't use filters that ad something that wasn't there, I work to make the camera record what my eye sees naturally by using filters that correct for the short comings of both digital and film cameras."
I currently live with my family in Colorado Springs and try to get out to create new photographs as often as possible. If you find yourself out my way and would like a guide to some of my local hot spots featured in my website let me know. I would love to meet like minded people who share a passion for the outdoors and photography.
