Welcome, and thanks for taking the time to visit my website! Growing up, I always loved being around animals, and felt strongly about animal welfare issues. All through school, I wanted to be a vet, but realized in college that I wasn't suited for all aspects of that profession. Thank goodness for those, like my cousin Marcy, who are! Photography gives me a way to illustrate the many ways animals are a part of our lives. It also gives me reasons to visit a wide variety of animals in varied settings! Most of all, it's a way for me to give back to those who share a part of their lives with animals.  My hope is that you see something here in my galleries that causes a reaction or a feeling of some kind. If so, please don't hesitate to contact me with any thoughts, questions, or suggestions you want to share. Have a great day!

Jim
