Your Bio

My name is Pat James and welcome to 'A New Leaf Photography'. The name may seem a bit curious, but it really represents my desire to finally pursue a long-time interest I've had in photography since I got my first Pentax K1000 in high school. As a 25-year radio broadcast professional in St. Louis, Missouri, radio has always been a love of mine because of it's ability to evoke emotions through the single human sense of hearing. Photography offers a similar challenge to create feelings through only sight. When I'm not on ther air or shooting, my wife and I live in St. Charles with our two wonderful daughters.

Kimmswick, Missouri : In March 2009, we spent a day in Kimmswick, Missouri just south of St. Louis.  Compared to when this small town celebrates the Strawberry Festival and Apple Butter Festival, it was MUCH sleepier at this time of year...though the Blue Owl is ALWAYS packed.  I love the older buildings here, and the uniquely decorated shops downtown.

Christmas Traditions in St. Charles : One of the things we love about St. Charles is the yearly celebration of "Christmas Traditions" on Main Street.  The merchants go all out to decorate their store-fronts, and the streets are alive with actors dressed as traditional Chistmas characters from all around the world.  It's a guaranteed way to get into the Christmas Spirit.
