Jim’s photo interests over the years have spanned environmental portraiture, social commentary, landscape, underwater, and yoga. He has worked extensively with a 4x5 camera as well as medium format and 35 mm. For ten years Jim has been scanning his transparencies and negatives, adjusting in Photoshop and printing with archival inkjet printers. In the last four years, he has moved from film to digital capture.
