| "Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man." Edward Steichen Welcome to jamesdeanphoto.com. I am an orthopaedic surgeon by vocation and photographer by avocation. In 1995, I was privileged to take a workshop with Galen Rowell prior to my first medical mission to Nepal. My original intent in attending was to refine my skills to a level where I could produce fundraising slideshows for overseas projects. Both the course and trip reignited within me a zeal for taking photographs, particularly portraits and landscapes. Since then, I have tried to be more diligent to carry my camera with me wherever I go. The process of capturing images has prodded me to view the world differently as I often find myself analyzing the light while visualizing a photo in my mind. "One's destination is never a place but a new way of seeing things." Henry Miller I continue to volunteer overseas and have an affection for beautiful scenics, unique peoples, and documentary storytelling. The result of these loves is the body of work you view on this website. I hope you enjoy the galleries and return periodically to view updates as I pursue my passion for photography. "I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve."
