Profile
City: Eastlake, Ohio
Country: United States
Hi. My name is Jim Butera and I’m married with three children, 18, 15 and 13 years old. We live in Eastlake, Ohio (at least until the kids graduate and my wife and I move to Hawai’i). I’ve been into photography since I was in junior high school and I specialize in macro, landscapes and cemeteries. I am just starting to use Photoshop for minor corrections as well as obvious abstracts but i still believe that minor corrections keep it a photograph and major corrections make it art. Below are some of my featured art works.
