From the son of Jim Palmer - 

It is with much sadness I share that on October 21, 2023 Jim Palmer passed from this world. Jim was a great father, grandfather, friend, and an amazing photographer. He loved being with other photographers out in the field. He would not hesitate to share his knowledge and help those around him. We will all miss him dearly. 

I will continue to maintain his website. If you feel inspired to share your memories of my father please use the contact link. Thank you, James Palmer (son).

Jim's Story -

Having been born and raised in wildlife abundant South Texas, being surrounded by nature and wildlife is like second nature for me. To me there are very few things in life that are more exciting and satisfying than taking unique pictures of wildlife.
My journey as a wildlife photographer started in the 1970's with a 35mm SLR, a 400mm lens, shooting Kodachrome. I up-graded to Autofocus as my pictures improved and in 2006 I converted to Digital with a high end DSLR.
I have photographed nature and wildlife from the tip of South Texas to border of Canada and beyond. I shoot at Bosque del Apache NWR, NM, Malheur NWR,OR, Sacramento NWR,CA, and On the Photo Ranches in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas to name a few. I also shoot at various wildlife areas here in the Pacific Northwest. If you are interested in shooting with me, send me an email at the address below and I will reply with Dates and Details of Photo Shoots/Workshops.
The images in the galleries are but a few of my favorites and unless otherwise noted all the wildlife is Free and Wild. None have been stressed or harassed in anyway to alter their natural behavior. All images are available as Fine Art Prints or for Publication. I can be contacted at [email protected].
