John is a born and bred New Yorker, currently residing in New Jersey. He was formally educated in music at the High School of Music and Art and New York University. He has enjoyed an inspiring 40-year career in technology and is currently retired.

Though primarily self-taught as a photographer, John also attended workshops and did course work at the International Center of Photography and School of Visual Arts. John has traveled to parts of Europe, the Caribbean, Central and South America on photo expeditions with noted photographers Harvey Stein and Steve Anchell. Some of John’s work is also posted in the contest galleries of Black and White magazine
.
Photography, music, technology and math have been John’s life’s centers of gravity--he might be described as somewhat of a polymath. Each of these disciplines drive his life and work, but he doesn’t always know where they will lead. Yet, nevertheless, he finds it necessary to take the journey.

John never pursued photography as a career. Instead, the art-form has been and remains a refuge in which he seeks self-care, therapy, healing and inspiration. Photography is the means by which John grasps at the unspeakable, the unthinkable, and the unknowable.
