About Jim
J. H. (Jim) Arnold grew up in northern Wisconsin at his parents resort on Blue Lake.
At the age of eight he began snorkeling with his $9.99 dime store mask, snorkel and fins adventuring out to see what was under the surface. As an adult he still enjoys going out to the local lakes to see what’s under the surface but now he has better equipment and a camera.
J.H. spends his time in the water and forests photo’ing a story of art and splendor captured in a moment of time.
