BORN TO SHOOT THE WORLD AROUND ME
Jim started his photography career as a high school junior in New York City. His black and white portraits of aspiring models and actors provided funds throughout his college and graduate school years. From 1983 until 1998, he and his wife Shendel photographed 260 weddings and other special occasions in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. About 2002 Jim became a digital photographer specializing in scenic and travel images.
“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.”
“There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.”
“Black and white are the colors of photography. They symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is subjected.”
