Jim Martinsen has been
producing
quality photographic images since 1962. You have seen his work in
countless newspapers and publications nationwide including The
New York Times and The Congressional Record.
The world is quickly making
the natural progression from film to digital images. Many seasoned
professional photographers bemoan this. It, however, is as inevitable
as our progression from the horse drawn carriage to the motorcar. We
either embrace these new technologies or we let the world pass us by.
It's simply what is. Early in my career I discovered the joy of seeing
this world through the careful melding of orthochromatic and
panchromatic images. Producing an image could be painstakingly slow.
Patience was a definite virtue. Todays' digital darkroom provides us
with virtually unlimited artistic expression, something the
photographer has never before enjoyed. Patience remains a virtue, and
it can be more rewarding than ever.-Jim
