About Me

 

Welcome to my Art Gallery.

My name is James and I am a San Diego based photo artist. I have been a photographer since 1979 and have had a camera around my neck since I was a kid. In high school, I bled photo developer and then the digital age came and I was ready for this new medium. 

 

My wife and I spend time in the garden and camping many of my images come from the flowers we grow or from the trips we take. It's amazing how beautiful and intricate every flower is. Sunflowers are my daughter's favorite flower so you can always find lots of them in my yard. Macro photography of the flowers is a passion of mine. Each image takes many photographs to create one piece. I use a photo technique called focus shifting to photograph the flowers and focus stacking to process. It's a technique that gets every part of the flower in focus.

 

Both my son and my stepson have Autism, it has been a challenge and a blessing at the same time. My photography has enabled me to be at home and care for them. My stepson Bobby is able to work and care for himself much more than my son Ryan. Bobby enjoys hiking, bowling, and being outdoors. Ryan enjoys anything Disney which is why we go to Disneyland at least once a year. Ryan and I like to paint so we get the paints and canvas out as much as we can. He actually inspired me to take up painting. 

 

 

My photography is inspired by the beauty around me and capturing light that reflects back through the cameras’ eye. Creating art is a journey and each piece speaks to me. I hope that my work speaks to you as well.

 

Well, that is a little bit about me and my family, I would love to hear from you and I look forward to connecting with you. Find me on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
