The Quiet Unknown...

(Click to Enlarge) I am so excited to begin my latest body of work called "The Quiet Unknown". This will be the follow up to "Float" and the second part of a three part series I am creating about the theme of change.

Will travel...

(Click to enlarge) I must confess that this year has been about floating. Not just floating through the world but through change as well. One of the great gifts you get being a photographer is a narrative of your life through the images you create. Rest assured my camera has been by my side the whole time. I feel some exciting new work will be the by product of all this movement and change. Please stay tuned...

Firebird...

(Click to enlarge image) So after a long wave of work from my Float collection I thought it would be nice to show some recent work. Recently I have been working with Florida Dance Theatre on their upcoming performance of Igor Stravinsky's Firebird. This is my second collaboration with a wonderful ballet dancer from Japan named Miho Sawayanagi. I cannot say enough about her as a dancer she really brings a lot to the dance scene here in Polk County.

Float for the cure...

(Click to enlarge image) So I wanted to start out by thanking all the wonderful people who attended my opening and made it a success. If you could not make it just know that it will hang for the next three months so please stop by and then tell me what you think. More importantly on the night of my opening I announced that all proceeds from this show would be donated to Relay For Life because I hate cancer. So if you want to support a wonderful cause and take home a tax deductible piece of art come on by. We are really hoping to sell the show out prior to the relay this weekend- please contact me with any questions... Thanks- James

This must be the place...

I do not know what motivated my friend Laura to start her business Tapping the Vine here in Winter Haven. I just know that I am glad that she did. You see prior to her arrival it was kind of difficult to get a good craft beer or a sophisticated bottle of wine in these here parts. This has all changed thanks to her efforts and I am proud to be showing my new work in her place. I hope you can join us this Friday as Laura teams up with the good folks at Bebo's for some new pairings. For those of you who do not know-Laura seems to have a sixth sense when it comes to combining certain foods with certain drinks - lets call it her gift. Stop by this Friday April 20th and see for yourself...

CHANGE(pt.4)...

I asked eight different women to show me what change looks like. I asked them to slip out of their world and into the water. I asked them to Float!

CHANGE(pt.3)...

What if you could let go to the gravity of fear? What if you could float to a new and better life? What would that look like?
