A native of Ridgway, Pennsylvania, Jim grew up on the edge of the Allegheny National Forest with an inherent appreciation of the natural world. A 1975 graduate of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, he purchased his first 35mm camera while a student there. once known for his limited edition pen & ink wildlife prints & watercolors, Jim is now raising digital photography to a fine art form. Jim claims, "Photographers see differently than most people in that there is always a chance of a great photograph with every step taken. Like painting a picture, you want people to feel & see what you feel & see.”
