About the photographer
Carol James is seldom without her iPhone at hand. She enjoys the stories...themes...messages her thousands of images continue to reveal to her. She began publishing in high school in the mid-'60s, graduated from J-School at the University of Minnesota, spent a career in journalism and public affairs in Minnesota and Washington, and resides in Alexandria, VA, with her husband Michael Moss and Covid puppy Lucy, a miniature long-haired dachshund (see her photo in the print display).
