Brad James

I grew up in Troy, Ohio and have called Austin, Texas my home since 1982.  My interest in photography began when I participated in a local newspaper sponsored photography class in high school.  We learned how to take photographs, use a camera, develop film and the images were often used in the newspaper.  I have always owned a camera but my interest in photography waivered as I was consumed by family and a career in technology. 

My oldest sister has been passionate about many things in her lifetime and often shares those interests with me.  One of those was her love for birding.  During her visits to Texas, she took me to numerous birding locations.  I became hooked, and when birding by myself, I began taking photos for identification.  I realized that I had missed photography over the years and discovered with the changes in camera technology that my photography and technology interests were now intertwined.  I truly love the digital darkroom, the tools that have been developed for photography are amazing. 

I have always enjoyed the outdoors, it is my zen place.  I hope this is reflected in my photography and my passion for sharing it with others through my website.
