ABOUT ME...
I bought my Canon Digital Rebel XT and Tamron 28-300 mm zoom spring of 2006. I later purchased a Canon 100mm-400mm IS zoom lens around the first of January 2008. Virtually all my photos are taken using the automatic camera settings (except for night shots!). I still have a lot to learn, but I really enjoy my photography!! I recently purchased a Canon 7D, so I'm now learning how to use the manual settings on my new camera. I am a Christian (a former doubter and rebel). Jesus Christ is my Savior and Lord. Surrendering my life to Him has totally changed my life and has given me real meaning and purpose. I now know, and am experiencing, the Truth, after living for years in deception and my own anger. I enjoy photographing His Creation, allowing people to see things they never noticed before. (I am a pastor and also a hospice chaplain. I work many long hours. Please forgive me if I don't always comment on your photos. My time is so limited!!) Maybe you've never "noticed" Him and His reality!! The following web sites should help you get to know Him if you have not!!!

I do not use or own Photoshop. Great program, but I don't have it!

"Hello Jim, your photos are incredible. I too, am a Christian who loves to take pictures of God's awesome creations. I started taking pictures a couple of years ago when I purchased my Nikon d70s. I love it. I am a single dad with 3 awesome kids. I am very involved in church and seldom have time to take pictures. I love the Lord and my goal is to somehow be able to Glorify him in my work. The beach is probably my most favorite place on Earth!! It is so nice to be able to correspond with fellow Christians on this site who share a love for God, photography and the ocean. Keep up the awesome work and God Bless You and your family.....Mike M"

"Jim Vail is a great photographer having the eye for creativity and is able to capture the very gifts that God has given us. He is a truly genuine person and great to be around. I had the privilege of personally meeting him and sharing stories, ideas and a good laugh or two. Good luck in your future endeavors and let's stay in touch.

"Jim's photography is absolutely breathtaking! He has such value for his Lord's creation...and has the ability to capture any of his subjects in the perfection it deserves.
Jim, thank you for your care as my brother in the Lord. I love being part of your family..and am so grateful I saw your appeal for prayer for River, for it has brought a great enhancement to my life! I love to think of you in your pastoral work...He knew what He was doing when you were directed to that part of your life, for I think you must make a wonderful pastor and carer in His interests. May the Lord greatly bless you and your wife and family in health and joy. Your sister in the Lord, Elizabeth."
