HI!Thanks for visiting!My wife, Jacqueline, and I have been sitting out the viral siege in Portland Oregon since we retired here in early 2020. Turns out to be good place to do that, especially since our kids are here! PS, Jacqueline’s a poet. Click here to see her work.Art work:Most pieces are derived from a single photograph, while some combine two or more, or include drawn elements. As is rather self-evident, I'm drawn to formal symmetry, exaggerated and false colors, and from-somewhat-to-total abstractions of the original images. Click here for my current Artist’s Statement.Process:To create my pieces, I use a variety of digital cameras to capture source images. These are processed and manipulated with multiple software apps, as well as some hand-drawn bits. I use an AI app for sharpening (manual sharpening is a tedious rabbit hole), but everything else is me. Some works come together in a few hours, but I work on most of them off and on over weeks or months. At the moment, I have about 11 works in process. Art cred: Photography program at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Attended a variety of drawing, painting and photography classes including a summer at the University of the Arts College of Art in Philadelphia. One solo show, a two person show, and pieces in 3 others, all 30 or more years ago.I've spent most of my working life in IT, with a sprinkling of photography jobs and volunteer gigs before & during:•High school yearbook photographer •Photography store manager •Staff and freelance photography including: portrait, advertising, catalog, and real estate •Co-managed "artists-only" work-in-progress critique parties•Managed and taught at a rental darkroom & studio•Managed a photo club for a non-profit art gallery with ~130 members •Taught non-credit photography at the University of Virginia•Taught 4x5 camera workshops for professional photographers You're welcome to contact me if you have questions, answers, offers, complaints, concerns, crises, compliments, commissions, etc.

Hi!I don’t have a clear plan for this page, so it’s a bit of mish-mosh for the time being.James W. Brewer III, PhotographerJim, my oldest and dearest friend, passed away on June 11, 2023. He had a remarkable career spanning a wide varieties of commissions including celebrities, jet aircraft, record covers, ad campaigns, editorial, film set stills, etc. A snapshot of his work can be seen on a website I built for him in 2002, which is now archived here. (Sorry, but it’s not cell phone friendly.)Jim and I met in the photography program at RIT, roomed together for a while, and had many adventures there and elsewhere. A decade later, he became good friends with my wife, as well (that’s her in the picture with him). He was smart, charming, generous, kind, and always optimistic.Wish listIf you have any of the following laying about collecting dust, I’d be delighted to take care of them for you until you need them again:•32 inch-ish IPS UHD monitor. Contact me if you’re not sure what you’ve got.•A less-than-2 pounds, 50” or taller,tripod.•Very sporadic use of a studio/vacant space, anywhere in NW Portland.
