The camera and a lens are like the canvas and brushes of a painter, or the clay of a potter. They plead for you to go out and discover something with them. A photographer then becomes part of the splendid concerto of nature, composing various subjects, textures, colors, shapes, forms, and light into a complete composition. An intimate relationship is established when the artist is alone with wildlife, in the calm silence of wilderness or witnessing a breath-taking exhibit of light on a landscape that may only last but a few fleeting moments. It is said that it is only during these moments when a photographer is truly at place where they can only begin to articulate their passion.
"Nature photography is an infinite art form allowing James to explore his inner creativity as well as be in touch to the world how he sees it. Through photography, James hopes he can increase others' appreciation for the diminishing natural beauty around them.
Peering at the world through a lens has taught James how to see without one. However, making images only goes so far in encouraging and showing appreciation for nature. James enthusiastically encourages anyone with a passion for nature to support one or all of the organizations listed on our links page. Everyday someone is maintaining a fight somewhere in the world to protect what they love so dearly, constant threats against endangered species and critical habitat, making many of our own daily activities seem trivial.
James is a 4th generation Colorado Native and 2nd generation artistic photographer in his family. His passion for nature and photography have grown insurmountably over the past several years.
