“Who is Jim Lee”

Jim Lee 73 - Photographer & Film Director – His Photographs now lodged in the V&A Museum in London & in the MAMM Museum in Moscow and also Galleries in the USA & Europe. He has Directed over 400 TV Commercials and a Feature Film with Alan Bates. His beginnings were quite wild as he is Dyslexic & slightly Dyspraxic so he was unable to cope with academic studies much to his Fathers annoyance - ran off to Australia at 17 to become a Cowboy – his Father being deeply embedded in the MI5 along with his Godfather - his Mother descended from the Seymour Aristocracy. Jim raised his first son singlehandedly from the age of 5 – 13 when he was killed in a car accident – later producing 4 further children - Jim having survived 3 major accidents and 3 cardiac arrests – published a picture book recently of his 50 years behind moving and still cameras - “Jim Lee / Arrested”

My Attitude to Life –

Always take Advantage of a Disadvantage and improve the situation rather than be defeated by it & See the Bright Positive side of Life – preferably with a sense of Humour.
