He is a photographic instructor at the Cape Cod Art Association and the Photography Center of Cape Cod. He is a juried member of the Plymouth Center for the Arts and of the Cape Cod Art Association.

Jim's presentation on "Thinking (i.e. Shooting) Outside the Box" will focus on a number of different photographic techniques that are frequently overlooked by the average photographer. None of these techniques are new; none originated with him, but each of them can lead to expanded horizons in photography. Strobe photography, long exposure photography for special effects, the intentional use of camera motion, changing camera orientation during the time of exposure, the creation of montages, and macro photography for abstraction will all be covered.

Jim will explain how practicing these techniques has caused him to expand his vision and appreciation of some of the natural world. He will present images resulting from each of the techniques and will explain exactly how each image was created. He will also demonstrate specific equipment required for some of these approaches. Jim will welcome dialogue and questions during his presentation.

Club members and guests will be able to shoot some of the subjects demonstrated if the bring their camera with a macro lens and a tripod that allows them to shoot strait down on the subjects.
