Jj Deloach Zimmerman

I am a writer by nature and by trade, one who has found fascination in photography. I print all of my work on canvas, which gives a beautiful texture that feels crucial to the images coming to life. My photos show my adoration of nature (mostly) and the nature of things. I prefer to shoot images randomly rather than intentionally, then come home and sort out what sings or stands out. It's often alligators and wetlands. No real surprise there ... Florida born and raised. Gators have more grace and ethereal beauty than one might perceive at first glance, and I love to emphasize that. I hope my images remain as a sort of eternal record of my home state's watery, flowing foundations, which we as a society are pushing into devastation and complete oblivion.
