About the Artist...
Biography
John is a relative newcomer to the Fine Art Nature and Landscape Photography world. John has recently received accolades and awards including winning a national photography competition (Aperture Nature Photography Workshop Contest – ANPW www.f64.com) and been juried into prestigious North America Nature Photography Association (NANPA www.nanpa.org ) “Members Showcase. “
I’m a landscape guy. I love capturing vibrant colors in sunrises and sunsets, textures in nature, the moon, flowing water and waterfalls. I try to capture the mood of the scene and love how the light interacts with the scene. My “Nature’s Firefall” image ties all of these together – a dramatic waterfall at sunset that looks like molten lava surrounded by the incredible rock textures of El Capitan in Yosemite. Water, rocks, tree bark, leaves….all things in nature have a texture to me. When I’m at a location, my challenge is capturing how the scene in front of me looks, feels, sounds or smells. Even with today’s equipment, it’s a challenge to recreate what your eyes see. If I’m successful, the photograph will remind me of that place I want to be on a Friday afternoon.
John takes many of his Landscape photos within the San Francisco Bay Area, as well as Yosemite National Park, Redwood National Park, Point Lobos , Grand Tetons National Park, San Mateo Coast, Butano State Park, San Francisco, Marin Headlands, Garrapata State Park , Alcatraz, San Sausalito, Big Sur, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium

Background
John started his interest in photography with a Kodak Instamatic Camera when he was just a kid. He received his first 35mm camera (Agfa) from his father and learned the art of working with fully manual cameras. Both his father and grandfather were photography enthusiasts complete with darkrooms.
Let's hope it gets good ones soon!
