James has been an avid music enthusiast and photographer since childhood. At age 9, he attended his first concert with his parents, seeing Phil Collins at the Sky Dome in Toronto. He would consistently be found playing in his father's darkroom, but has received little formal training in his art. For James the fusion of photography and music occurred after leaving college to tour extensively across the country. James has returned to Richmond to finish his degree in Political Science and is an active force in the music scene. The beginnings of his comprehensive library of local and national acts can be found on his website: RichmondImage.com.
