Viewers will see slices of life from Jim’s visits to Oregon, California, and New Mexico, as well as various locations throughout New England.

He’s currently a member of the Springfield Photographic Society (SPS) and editor of the club’s newsletter. Two of his photos were recently displayed in an SPS exhibit at the D’Amour Museum of Fine Arts at the Springfield Museums and he’s had several solo exhibits in New England.
