Hiking and exploring the Cascade Mountains in Washington and Oregon during the late 1990’s has been the inspiration for much of John’s photographic work. He attempts to capture a unique perspective and the right light to give his images a fresh and authentic presence.

While not a stranger to the darkroom, his work presented here includes both scanned slide film and digital color images. He seeks to present images as he visualized them, creating the colors and the sense of beauty when capturing a special moment in time.

He considers his images to be works in progress, always seeking to better capture the mood and the essence of the moment in images both old and new.

His travels have taken him to several of America’s beautiful national parks and to Italy, Ireland, Scotland, and England. He returns to Seattle often to visit his grandchildren. He lives in Andover, Massachusetts.
