I have associated with Jim since arriving at WSU in 2005 and feel he is as good at his craft as anyone
I work with. His photos are always eye-catching and capture the feel of the events he is shooting. It is
evident he has great passion for his work, particularly Cougar Athletics. |

For four years Jim Simpkins patrolled the sidelines at all WSU Cougar home athletic events, serving as
the Athletic Department's lead photographer and dark room technician. He was without question one of the best student photographers I have hired in
nearly 30 years at WSU and he has continued to sharpen his skills since graduating in 1981. |

results. |

| Jim has provided The Issaquah Press with numerous photos during football season when I couldn't get to two places at the same time. The things we look for when we need a good sports photo are peak action, correct exposure, accurate focus, picture composition and caption/ID information. Jim's photos are great in each of these areas! When we need him, we know we can rely on him. |

| Crimson Photography's action pictures that I purchased are outstanding! I am very pleased with the tremendous clarity of the larger 11 x 14 and 8 x 10 pictures. The delivery time and the overall service level provided was exceptional! Thank you for the great pictures. |

| Jim Simpkins often shot photos of Skyline High football games for our paper last fall and did an outstanding job. His photos were sharp. It's evident that he knows the game of football and knows what to look for on every play. His package of photos included a variety, everything from shots of running backs running behind big linemen, linebackers blocking punts or sacking quarterbacks, players celebrating after a big play and game-winning plays. He doesn't give you wasted shots. His photos often tell the story of the game. He knows the key players and makes sure they are included in his package. Jim is also a skilled photographer for baseball, swimming and other sports. I highly recommend Jim's photography to anyone wanting high quality work |

| The sharpness, focus and composition of the photos from Crimson Photography are outstanding. Even though I take digital pictures of my boy's sports activities we have purchased multiple photos from Jim, which are great additions to our photo album. Jim's photos give us the professional grade photos we can't get from the stands. |

| Sit back, relax and enjoy all of the great sports action knowing that Jim is catching photos of all your favorite plays. Catch all of the action in photographs without any of the work, leave that to Jim and Crimson Photography! |
