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, Photographer
Jim, 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 list
If 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.
•
Any 40MP or higher DSLR, if you have lenses for it.
•
Any Sony brand 40MP or higher DSLR body.
•
Wide angle (<25mm) or fish-eye sony compatible lenses.
•
A less-than-2 pounds, 50” or taller, tripod.
•
Very sporadic use of a studio/vacant space, anywhere in NW Portland.
And if you’re fabulously well-to-do, rent or buy us this camera:
•
Fujifilm GFX 100 II Medium Format Camera. I’ll bring the 11 pound tripod ;-)

Prints, Framing, etc
Most work is best seen as larger prints, and many will print well up to 16 sq feet at near zero
viewing distance.
A number of factors determine pricing. For example, an unmounted 24in x 36in/61cm x 92cm
print on hot press fine art paper is $95 USD including US shipping. The same image size on
metal is $400. Prints up to 40in x 60in/100cm x 150cm can be quoted and delivered with in
three to five days.
Please contact me regarding:
•
larger sizes
•
printing on other materials (walls, canvas, ceramic, glass, wood, etc.)
•
matting and framing
•
installation considerations and management
•
samples prints
•
custom work
Magnetic hangers such as these are an easy, inexpensive way to display paper prints.
Unique print: If you would like to have the only print that will ever exist of a piece that is has
not yet been printed, please contact me.
Digital-only usage
Personal or non-profit: Download anything on the site, and let me know what you did with it!
I’d also appreciate a mention, even if it’s just tagging it with MarkyMadeIt.com.
NOTE: the 3000 pixel wide, 96 DPI images on my site and social media do not print well
above roughly 16 inches wide
Commercial: Just make me an offer and it’s probably yours. Purchase includes the highest
res file I have for the image (up to ½ a gig). NFT’s or exclusive rights are negotiable.
