Welcome to my website. My name
is Jim Pryts, and in my past life I was a professional photographer. For
about 34 years I plied my trade in and around the northern California city
of Napa. Napa is the seat of the county that shares the same name, and is about
an hours drive north of San Francisco. The Napa Valley is best known for its many
wineries, but I remember it as the place where I spent 45 years of my
life, with or without the the wine. I no longer live in the Napa Valley.
Nowadays, my wife, Marlene and I are in Riverside, California after spending
about 3 years in northern Oregon. After an all too
brief stay in the Portland area, we craigslisted ourselves a good job down
south in Riverside. We love it here. We love the palm trees, the hot
weather, and the ways around having to use the freeways that we have
discovered. Someday in the future we'll retire, I'll grow a garden, or lose myself in some
other idle pastime with my banjo on my knee,
and Marlene will raise miniature Nubian goats, or whatever, and spin a lot.
Within the pages of this website will be found, as time goes by, a growing
collection of photographs, lyrics, poetry, and commentary of sorts. Most of it will be my
own, and I may wander a bit, posting a photo here, a poem there, probably
in no chronological order, with little regard to location or
noteworthiness. I can do that . . . it's my website. Welcome to this little filling station on the information super
highway. You are free to love or hate it's content; embrace my point of
view, or leave it alone, but you're welcome to stop in.
