Vision is the beginning and end of photography. It’s the thing that moves you to pick up the camera, and it determines what you look at and what you see when you do. It determines how you shoot and why. Without vision, the photographer perishes. Vision is everything, and the photographic journey is about discovering your vision, allowing it to evolve, change and find expression through your camera and the print. It is not something you find and come to terms with once and for all; it is something that changes and grows with you. The things that impassion you, that anger you, that stir you – they are part of your unique vision. It is about what you- unique among billions – find beautiful, ugly, right, wrong, or harmonious in this world. And as you experience life, your vision changes. The stories you want to tell the things that resonate with you – they change and so does your vision. Finding and expressing your vision is a journey, not a destination.

Hi.... and welcome to our web site. We are Ian & Kaarina James of Salmon Arm B.C. 250-832-5090. We are a retired couple who are having a lot of fun with cameras. We we encourage you to bookmark and share this web link with others you may know that also enjoy viewing photographs - the "Current Favourites Section gets updated regulary - it just seems to get bigger and bigger... Most of our work is done in and around the Shuswap / Salmon Arm area, however some pictures go beyond these boundaries. Our beloved puppy "Heila" recently left us which leaves more opportunities for travelling - we hope to visit Cuba soon for the purpose of photographing life style and the scenes before the country is opened up the the U.S.A.... which as we all know, will have a dramatic impact on their culture.
If you like our work or have a question we can be contacted at ian-kaarina@telus.net. I have placed a second video below. Just click on the image, give it time to load, turn up your volume and enjoy the show(s). If you are interested in photography - check out the Shuswap Photo Arts Club (or give us a call).
