I consider myself a photographic artist. On a part-time basis I have been active in photography for over 30 years. Since my recent retirement I have been able to devote full-time to photography.

Locally I market my images at the Carnegie Art Center, the Walla Walla Airport Puddle Jumper Gift Shop, Inland Octapus and during the summer at the Walla Walla Farmers Market.. My products include two sizes of note cards, small decorative magnets and artistic prints on photographic paper, fine art paper or canvas. To produce my products I use Epson printers, inks and Epson approved media.

I have been asked to make my images more available. You may purchase my prints and cards direclty from me by contacting me at jimdotwillis@msn.com .

As a public service I have been the club photographer for the Walla Walla Onion Man Triathlon and the Tour of Walla Walla Bike Races. I have also been pleased to work with Tourism Walla Walla and the Walla Walla Downtown Foundation.

My corporate clents have included U.S. Bancorp, U.S. National Bank, Far West Federal and Portland General Electric. I have had showings at The Skylite Gallery, Darrah's Gallery, The Carnegie Center, Paula Ray Gallery, The Little Theater Gallery, the Walla Walla Communtiy College Gallery, and the Artists Wall at Tallman's. I have also had the great pleasure of decorating the offices of Willis & Toews, PLLC (our son's law firm).

"Of Roses and Poets" is my first book. It has been described as a delightful collection of vintage poems going back to 1500 and my protraits of roses. Autographed copies may be purchased from me or it may be purchased directly from Xlibris via the internet.

I have a short video, with music, at www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eBozNoDcdU The video features images of the Walla Walla Valley and is used asa promotional piece by various local organizations. I also have a conventional web page at www.jfranklinwillis.com .

Professionally I go by J. Franklin Willis, but please call me Jim.
