James E Weaver

A wannabe photographer throughout the years, I have snapped photos whenever I had a camera in hand — some years often, other years not. Over 20 years ago, a koi entered my viewfinder so clear and sharp -- my photo of it, and 20,000-plus since make up my current inventory. It, plus 100 or so, have seen the light of day on greeting cards, mugs, and prints, and have sold in shows, online selling sites, local stores, and the Whatcom Art Market. My themes vary from landscapes to flora (especially flowers) to man-made structures to animals. Currently I am using deliberate distortion in my processing.
