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.

In junior high, John got his first Nikon FM SLR where he was the lead yearbook photographer. His first modern camera was a Nikon N70 SLR that he used for many years. He shoots today with a Nikon D80 DSLR and a variety of lenses.

John has trained under legendary photographers including Charlie Cramer, Bill Atkinson, Sean Duggan, Dave Cross, Joe Decker and Nate Donovan. John has had fantastic support and studied the art of framing and matting from fine art framers Darlene and Nelson Frick
