Leica self portrait

Iā€™m James, a photographer in the Pacific Northwest. I enjoy shooting a variety of subjects with a focus on capturing moody tones in and around my daily life.

A software engineer by trade, I like to balance the artistic and aesthetic side with the more mechanical and engineering oriented side of photography which informs the name of my blog, Cog & Feather.

While I am not a working photographer, I hope that you enjoy the work that I have to share, and that I am lucky enough to make you smile or laugh.
