Jim T. Smith
I was born and raised in Wild and Wonderful West Virginia. I moved to Los Angeles where I worked at the Los Angeles Times Newspaper in the press room. On my way back to WV, I made a stop in Las Vegas and remained there for 2 years. After returning home to WV, I began my career in radio advertising and this lasted 20 years. Also, in that time span, I renewed my passion for photography. Photos were published in The Lefthander magazine, with articles and Southern Lumberman, plus local newspapers and other local magazines. My reading interest centers around the Civil War era. I've produced and filmed a Civil War Documentary about the Battle of Rich Mountain, which is located a few miles from where I currently live.
