James Weber picked up a camera and embarked on studying and pursuing photography soon after his return from combat experience as a young Paratrooper in Vietnam. It was this art form that became his catharsis from those early life experiences. Weber's approach to the camera is that it is a mechanical device enabling the recording of what he sees and perceives at any given moment. The resulting images often reveal what he could not fully comprehend at the moment of capture, and this serves to form a compelling process of capture and recognition of his world. Weber has studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology, New York University, The New School, Parsons School of Design, and the School of Visual Arts. In his time with renowned faculty, James honed and defined a philosophic, photographic perspective that has become a reflective light within his everyday experience. It is this, his true life's Passion, he so readily and freely shares with others. Weber has exhibited his work in galleries in New York City, his beloved hometown, and Long Island, where he lives and works.
