Focus on the creative inspirations that prompted the photography
Happy Birthday Mary V. McCormick – Deeply grateful that we had the chance to chat tonight and celebrate your day. I love, love love creating these photographs. Nor can I get enough of my weekend time isolated for the set up, experiment that unfolds and the photographs that are captured. I thoroughly enjoy sharing them […]
Today’s post walks through reframing and the power it has to change what we see and think. Often with both the problem and solution lying right in front of us. My atypical use of a camera is the reason why I enjoy this photographic artform. I have a chance to break the rules and reframe […]
There is little to be said here now on this day. I would prefer you enjoy his creativity and spend time listening to him. https://www.youtube.com/davidcrosby Regards, Jim
Today’s post walks through a challenging weekend and expands far beyond that short timeframe. Work was very busy with a lot to complete which in turn took me away from my photography.

Today we will visit touch on a trio of prints we are working on mounting and framing. I put two colors in one Petri dish i front of the camera. Then I stood back steadily triggering the shutter to capture the three images you see below along with many others. They are remarkable. Clearly defined […]
Today’s post may wander a bit. My thoughts revolve around the impermanence in life and the illusion of permanence that cameras bring to us. The three photos (above right and individuals further below) are taken on a glass plate with inks and paints moving across the field of view at various speeds. In some cases […]

The more I read here, the more any race to achieve perfection begins to sound like a fool’s pursuit. Imperfection and impermanence… Wabi – sabi… Slow down … Find beauty in imperfection and […]
Today’s post stems from some cool interactions with customers at three recent art shows in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. A frequent question posed is whether my artwork is acrylic pour art. Which is a fair question. There are some similarities … in some pieces. The beauty of the acrylic pour lies in the […]
