First things first. Photography excites me. I have always been fascinated with portrait and sports photography in particular. I find inspiration in the work of others that came before me, such as Richard Avedon and Platon. Sometimes you can look at one of their photos and just see pure emotion.

That is what I want to convey through my photography. I want someone to look at one of my portraits and not simply see a picture, but instead to see something deeper. However, I don't think I will ever reach a point where I am completely satisfied with my technique. As such, I am always learning. I read and watch everything I can get my hands on, whether it is about camera technique, different studio lighting set-ups, or post-production software. You can read my blog to see what I am doing or where I have been. I will try to keep it updated regularly.

Having said that, I enjoy capturing images of life around me and sharing those with people. I created JimShotMe.com to give people access to the photos I take. I share many of my photos on LoganCountyHerald.com, but these are full resolution and should provide great prints if you want to purchase them. I hope you enjoy the photos!
