I am a humanist with a profound love of all life, be it human or otherwise. As such, I hold my own life as no more interesting or important that that of my neighborhood cats, a fly on the wall, or the tree next to my driveway.
I don't believe in God - any God - but most of my dearest friends and family do. As such, I'm happy to coexist with anybody and everybody; regardless of their beliefs. In my best estimation, all we ever really "have" on this planet is the fun times and love we share with those around us. The rest is merely vapor...
Photography is the one place where I find my art and inner-peace. Flickr allows me to share that with other like-minded folks, and I'm thrilled to do so.
I currently head-up two groups on flickr; Exposure Cleveland and Northern Ohio Photographer's Showcase. Please hit the links and check 'em out when you get a chance.
And finally...
I am very open to people using my images for most anything, under one condition; they contact me first to ask my permission. If you are interested in using one of my images, please contact me by flickr mail first. It's just about respect, and 99% of the time I say "yes" anyway. Thanks!

"Jim is one of the good ones. He's a thinker. He's a good friend. Though, he is a card carrying Canon owner, but we won't hold that against him."

"In his profile, Jim counts himself as a humanist. I count Jim as one of the finest humans I know. He cares deeply about people and you can see it in the way people respond to him, and you can see it in his portraits. He has an instinctive knack for capturing personalities. It's a talent that comes from his ability to connect with people. His portraits are as good as you'll see anywhere from anyone. It's a pleasure to know Jim, and I'm proud to count him as a friend."

"Jim is a wonderful photographer, a great guy, has TONS of interesting ideas on all sorts of topics; and he is a fantastic group leader and inspiration for Northeast Ohio photographers, a group I would love to be more involved in except I work every Friday night and can't attend the showings. Anyway ... keep up the great work on all fronts, Jim!"
