One of the greatest American photographers yet to have his work truly appreciated by a global audience. The manner in which he captured the essence of life of ordinary citizens is extraordinary. I will never forget seeing for the very first time the series of fashion models photographed inside the CF & I steel mill — utterly brilliant. If you haven’t seen his work before, you can capture many of the images now at the Sangre de Cristo Arts Center during the Ansel Adams exhibition. GH
Aunt Mary: Sorry to hear of Uncle Johnnys passing. You are in our hearts and prayers. Love you.
John was a special man in my life and a good friend to my husband. I learned more about bering a good photographer from him than anyone in my experience. He has been missed for a few years now and his talent will continue to be missed for years to come. My condolences on your loss.
I remember doing darkroom work for him when I worked at Camera Craft. Terrific photographic eye and the eccentricity of a true artist. Prayers for his family. May your grief pass quickly and may you find peace in your hearts.
I will always miss the genuine good experiences together with Mary, John and my mother Emmy.
