Greetings,

It has only been a few months since I joined the flickr family and I must say it has been a very enjoyable experience. I've become acquainted with and inspired by so many wonderfully talented artists.

My philosophy and process for the images I create is simple:

I see light coming from an object or series of objects that catches my eye. I then look for a composition that stimulates my emotions. I capture the light and for that moment the image is mine. When I share it with others, I set it free and it becomes theirs. - Jim

My favorate quotes:

To chart a course, one must have a direction. In reality, the eye is no better than the philosophy behind it. The photographer creates, evolves a better, a more selective, more acute seeing eye by looking ever more sharply at what is going on in the world. - Berenice Abbott

Simply look with perceptive eyes at the world about you, and trust to your own reactions and convictions. Ask yourself: "Does this subject move me to feel, think and dream? Can I visualize a print - my own personal statement of what I feel and want to convey - from the subject before me? - Ansel Adams

Thanks for stopping by,

Jim
