From within captured "Music In Motion", ... lies the artist's "Emotions in Music."

 

"I often reflect on the discipline, confidence, and excellence I experienced when pouring all I had into both my musicianship and showmanship as part of one of the greatest marching programs of my day." - James Wehmeyer (Artographer)

"I wished I had more than a couple of images from that amazing time in my life.  I purpose that all performers I have the pleasure to serve, will have an abundance upon which to inspire them on to even greater things; remembering these moments when they experienced victory once before, a result of giving their all."

 

"I was blessed to have the opportunity to compete at the UIL State Championship Finals in my freshman year, perform the special music with my mother for each Sunday morning church service and accompany the choir for nearly every hymn. Even into college, I always had my flute ready to perform."

 

A generation later ... Fall 2023

 

"Photography is in my blood—a legacy from my father’s pursuit of the craft—but it didn't truly take hold until it intersected with my music history. When my son began performing, my passion for the lens ignited with the same fervency I once felt as a musician. Even my professional life as a Project Director for the State of Texas provided an unexpected bridge; by rethinking how I 'framed' virtual engagement for a remote workforce, I began to see visual storytelling through a new lens. What started as a trickle of captures has since become a waterfall of creative experimentation—giving birth to a unique art form that blends technical precision with the soul of the performance."

Full circle back to my love and passion for music and the  missional commitment I made long ago to advance music as an artform through education and the support of student musicians in their pursuit.
