James has always believed that one should put to print what stimulates. In his printing methods, both traditional and digital, he established a method of producing "textural dimension", utilizing both processing with exposure enhancement and digital refinement. All subject matter is conceptualized for impact, implemented and transferred to print by love of the craft. "My images play both in emotion and technique, while portraying private thoughts as public displays. I continually find myself emotionally divided as to exhibit my impressions while guarding my intention. If my images are to be taken literally, then let the viewer come to respect my work as simply honest. Whether my subjects are human figures, places or themes, all interpretations remain emotionally confined within a single dimensional print; this art is my passion. These quietly seductive works hold a deep and moving quality of innocence lost or simply forgotten.
