MyArtistSoul's photostream
|
humanist, dad, optimist, visual artist, writer, nature lover, animal lover, music lover (with a terrible singing voice)... self-contained and independent, a bit eccentric, lots of focus "in the moment" hence easily distracted by things i see, wacky sense of humor that's a two-way filter and visual/conceptual overlay on the world around me. many of my mental uploads and downloads tickle my fancy.
photography is a big passion. it provides creative satisfaction, and it's one of the most intimate connections to my artist soul.
while i have a lot of technological expertise in graphic design apps and hand tools and power tools (and I do love Macs, digital cameras, strobes, photo-quality printers, the internet, fast cars, table saws, bicycles, LED flashlights, firearms, custom knives, high-res hi-fi, bicycles, backpacking gear, etc), if my situation was just a little bit different and i could afford it, i'd move to a tall mountain that had four seasons, taking with me only my heart and soul, my Life Partner, and survival's basic essentials -- leaving behind as much technology as possible.

Krista... has jumped over to a new profile!!! says:
"I was first drawn into Jim's photostream because of his off the wall sense of humour. I took a few minutes to look around and was in awe of what I saw. To my initial surprise, he is an incredibly gifted photographer. His strength is definately in his macro work, although he does a great job of capturing the things he sees in his daily journey. Add to this, a genuinely nice and helpful person, who is more than happy to offer up advice. For anyone who hasn't visited his photostream before, I would highly recommend it."

"Jim seems really connected to his "INNER ARTIST”. He finds the opportunities that each day brings to create art. His pictures are so beautiful and he has an amazing eye ...the eye of a true artist...to find the beauty of everyday life everywhere. Look at his photos; he finds remarkable beauty all around him all the time!"
