Welcome to the Photography of
      Jim Galli
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

This site is just a simple home made place to share some
of the current work I'm doing.  The earliest pages are getting
quite dated.  You'll find some color and 35mm work there.

If you start at the bottom and work upward you'll find
much of the latest experimenting with antique portrait
lenses that I feel provide a unique signature in our current
sterile digital world.
