James Poulson is a photographer who grew up in Sitka. He helps run the Sitka Sentinel, which is a family-owned daily newspaper. He has been involved in many historic restoration projects in Sitka including restoring Tilly Paul Manor adjacent to the Sheldon Jackson campus for adaptive re-use as a hostel and the many on-going restoration projects of the Fine Arts Camp. He is married to Kristen Homer, who volunteers at camp. They have two daughters, Lucy and Addie, who are active in the arts and, not surprisingly, love attending (and working at) Camp.
