I went to San Francisco with Doug in '85 and stayed with James & Elaine for a week and have some very fond memories from the time I spent with them. I admired James for chasing his dream and making it a reality. He did what he loved - which is what all of us fantasize about but not all of us achieve. James did leave this world early - but like Doug said - he packed alot of living into his 56 years. What a free-spirited, talented and gentle soul !! God Love You James.

The world has lost something very special in James. His photography is moving and his activism inspirational. The beauty and value of his animal subjects' personalities is very evident in his work... I'm so sorry for the loss of such an admirable person.

I am a native of the Richmond Dist. where James lived. In fact, an OLD friend of ours lived in the very same building as James when her family moved to SF in the late 50z! I have some fond memories with James. Some centered around our favorite hangout in the...
