About Jim Frazier / Jim Frazier  

Many of my photographs are available for licensing or prints. Please see my web page for more information.

Watermarks
Most of my pictures are watermarked - some are hidden and some are obvious. If you'd like to get a version without the watermarks, please contact me. There will be a fee. Note that if you crop it out or clone it out, you've violated the Creative Commons license.

If you find a picture of YOU,
and you're an individual, you can almost certainly have the image for free. Just contact me.

Email
My current "disposable" email address is at the very bottom of my personal page

If I've faved one of your railroad pictures, I've put it on my list to maybe use someday on my blog www.cooltrainpix.com. I WILL ALWAYS ask your permission before I even consider using the picture, but usually wait until I've found a couple of your pictures to post before asking (just to be a little more efficient). If you want to be proactive and tell me it's OK to use your pictures, that would be appreciated.

Group Invitations
Please note that I'm not the slightest bit interested in posting in groups like MySuperFavoriteIsn'tThisTheBestGroupEVER!!!.. I don't join or contribute to groups that require commenting or faving. Nor do I typically contribute to groups where I will get comments littered with images, particularly animated GIFS.

A fav is, however, most welcome. And I will delete comments involving animated or larger than thumbnail images...hate those things.

I do enjoy posting pictures to subject-specific groups. However, I probably won't want to join the group. So please use that invite link in the lower right of the comments section, if you're an administrator of the group.

So, about me...
I'm a professional speaker specializing in seminars on sales and use taxes, as well as accounting, accounts payable, payroll, wage and hour law.. I also enjoy photography. And, since I do seminars all over the USA (49 states so far), I have the opportunity to take pictures in many places.

I used to wield a camera when I was in high-school through my mid-twenties. Then I got tired of taking pictures, paying for processing, and just keeping the pictures in boxes. But when I saw a picture a friend had taken with a digital camera in late 2002, I got back into it - buying a Sony Cybershot DSC 717. I was addicted again.

I moved up to Nikon in 2005 and now own a D90, a couple of D70's (one of which is for sale), Speedlights, and assorted equipage. I'm not going to list it all because, for the life of me, I can't figure out why anyone would care. I joined Flickr in 2005 and now I definitely don't have to keep my photos in boxes anymore!

Second Flickr Account
I've set up a second Flickr account at www.flickr.com/photos/jim_frazier_photography . I will be "pouring" proofs into this account of virtually all of my pictures from some events. If you want to see LOTS of pictures from some of my photographic expeditions, they may be there. Eventually, the better ones, with digital "improvements" will make their way to this account.

Groups
I've started a couple of groups on Flickr including:
