A Pleasant Surprise in Ohio's Hocking Hills
October/26/07 03:47 PM
Earlier this week I traveled out to a
place I consider to be the true home of my creative spirit -
Hocking Hills, Ohio. I was asked to photograph a few portraits at
the Inn at Cedar Falls as well as do some follow-up shooting of a
massage therapist at work within the Inn’s new spa. There was also
a couple of other reasons for my early week, two-day trip. One
pertains to my upcoming move and the other was to see if all the
hot, dry days of what seemed to be the never ending summer of 2007
had completely ruined any hope for a colorful autumn in Hocking
Hills. It was the first summer that I know of whereby the streams
and waterfalls in the gorges were nearly completely dry from about
early May all the way through September. I was sure that the lack
of rain would cause most of the Maple, Oak, Dogwood and Beech trees
to simply go from green to brown.
I was pleasantly surprised to be proven wrong.
So wrong that in fact what I discovered was one of the best autumn displays of color I’ve seen put on within the hills and hollows of Hocking County. Not only that, but the steady rainfall of this past week brought the streams and waterfalls back to glorious life, once again.

Creative Vision
October/18/07 11:12 AM
There are plenty of photographers with
good equipment and some technical skill.
There are a few less with good equipment, technical skill and the ability and experience to function as a professional - within their career field as well as with their clients.
There are far, far fewer photographers who possess all of the above in addition to what is most important - Creative Vision.
I am in that very small minority. The photographs presented on this page support this fact. I am not just a “nature and landscape photographer,” or a “commercial photographer,” or a “portrait photographer.”
I am a visual artist who brings a unique creative vision to both personal and client-assigned work, bringing forth the extraordinary from the ordinary.
My photography is how I envision light and subject through my own creative approach toward life. Although my subject matter is widely varied, the one constant is my personal drive, skills and talent in capturing photographs and creating images that no one else could previously see and compose.
That’s what I bring to the table.
I actively seek clients - both for assignment work as well as purchasers of fine art prints and licensing rights - that are located throughout North America and beyond. In no way am I beholden to my local market - in terms of creativity, capability or short-term business necessity.
Please call 1-877-527-6889 or email jim@ohiophoto.org for more information about how my creative vision can enhance and add significantly to the visual effectiveness of your marketing and advertising efforts, printed materials, organizational web site or decorative presentation of your office location.
