• Snags

  an ongoing project I have not talked about People I meet while I’m out on my photo-walks (combining some exercise with lots of visual fun) often ask me what I’m shooting. If I tell them “snags,” they often give me a blank look. I tell them Snags are dead trees still standing. Snags are important…

• It’s great when other photographers notice!

It has warmed my heart to get such recognition! And by a variety of the marvelous groups in FAA. I have gathered some of…

• Underexposed?

  or dark, rich, moody? I admit it— I love my “underexposed” images. I succumb to what one of my generous mentors calls “the religion of low light.” Why? The colors are so darned rich! The downside? They are “noisy”! (Noise is to digital images as “grainy” was to film images.) Here are two of my…

  Hi! Many of my photos are now downloadable, free, here— https://www.pexels.com/@jim-wilce-423947101 I love shooting, and I love sharing what I shoot.
