- Bio
- My name is James Elmore and my photographs were created here on the Oregon Coast. As an artist I create watercolors and photographs that focus upon the incandescence of light.
I seek to capture spiritual energy in the hopes that it will spark joy and the recognition of something living in the viewer.
