Hi there, I'm Jim Patterson of Phoenix, Arizona. Welcome to my photography page. My primary camera is the Canon 7D and I use the SD950 as a backup. My digital darkroom is made up of
Photoshop and
Adobe Lightroom, both on a Mac. By the way, if you haven’t used a photography workflow program like Lightroom or even Apple’s Aperture, you really must try it.
I'm professor of business/i.t. at Paradise Valley Community College. I also teach as an adjunct for Northern Arizona University. In addition to this site and my faculty page, I also have a technology blog.
Here is my video greeting to you. You may also want to visit
my PVCC faculty site. And, I have a
photography blog here that I try to update with the latest things I learn and find interesting.
... Oh, one more thing… here is my
Flickr site, where I put photos I may not want on my professional Zenfolio site.
Some tidbits on photography.... - “To get spectacular photographs, visit spectacular places!” - “Get closer to your subject.. if you think you are close, take a step closer!” - “Don’t always think... ‘Oh, I will fix it later in Photoshop.’ Compose first in your viewfinder.” - "You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus" (Mark Twain) Here is a list of great links all on photography! If you have or find a great site, please message me so I can include it on this list.
