Jim Gregg’s love of photography has spanned over 65 years. During his life time tremendous changes in equipment, techniques and process have occurred. One friend has described Jim as an, “80 year old photographer with a 60 year old camera and a wooden tripod.”

Actually Jim works mostly in digital today and he owns a modern carbon fiber tripod!

But he did take his well known photograph of “Lenticular clouds over Mount Shasta” with a 60 year old, large format Crown Graphic camera. The print has been called a Northern California icon. He also has done much work with medium format cameras. His most recent work is digital.

His primary interest is in landscape and nature photography. Some of his prints are from negatives made over 50 years ago when he was a wilderness ranger in Lassen Volcanic National Park. The negatives are given high resolution scans and archival digital prints are produced.

Jim’s interest in photography began in his early teen years when he began working for commercial photographers and the daily newspapers in his home town, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the state capital. At 17 he enlisted in the Navy during WWII and was trained as an aerial and motion picture photographer. He says the training was outstanding and was overseen by the famous American photographer, Edward Steichan.
