Photographs by John
About John
I got my first camera over 50 years ago, a Nikon F and have shooting Nikon’s ever since. In the early 1990’s I attended my first photo workshop in the California ghost town of Bodie CA. From there I continued to expand my knowledge and expertise in the use to the film camera. In the next 10+ years I produced over 15,000 slides wandering the west from a base at Lake Tahoe. I switched to a digital camera in the early 2000’s. My philosophy is my camera is a time machine.
My photography is exploring unfamiliar places in search of light, composition, and subject matter whether it be a landscape, wildlife, or a simple rock. To capture a, “Moment in Time” with my time machine.
I am a local artist who moved with my husband and three children to the Tahoe area in 1987, just recently moving to Carson City, Nevada. I was educated at the School of Associated Arts in St. Paul, MN and the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Italy. I have been a practicing graphic and fine artist for over 40 years and have taught painting classes to adults as well as children.
My original watercolors, giclee prints and cards are sold in galleries around the area. Please take a tour through My Gallery to view samples of the Portrait, Lake Tahoe Landscapes and Western Art commissions I have done. And, I’ve also painted just about everything else in between, too!
