About Me |
|
| It often feels like the inmates have taken over the assylum. Life today is usually not a peaceful experience. The stresses of daily life come in many forms, and many of our human interactions involve people who have no concept of the idea of civility. There seems to be an over-emphasis on competition in every facet of life. Technology, or rather, the over-reliance we have on technology in the form of computers, cell-phones, e-mail, text-messaging, iPods, etc., seems to have greatly added to our stress levels instead of making life easier and more convenient. This page is meant to be an oasis of calm amid the daily madness. I want it to be a warm, welcoming place that allows you to step away from your daily life, if only in your mind. I hope you will browse the calm, soothing visual images found in my photo section; think of it as a visual meditation. Imagine yourself in a tranquil setting with no cares or concerns. Hopefully, you will make it part of your daily routine. Now about me; my name is John and my career as a photographer included six years as a newspaper photographer and numerous freelance projects. I now happily call myself an amateur once again, only photographing people and places that interest me. Over the years I have accumulated a large catalog of images, some from travel overseas and many close to home. It is from these that I present you only with images that represent the calmer, more relaxing side of life. I have also included a few digital illustrations which fit our theme. |

The Dalai Lama, Richard Gere...and me |

| It was a very memorable day, in many ways. To make a very long story short, a photo I had taken of the Dalai Lama back in 1998, during my days as a newspaper photographer, was chosen as THE image used... Posted by Gentle Focus on Mon, 15 Oct 2007 07:15:00 PST |
