John is a really friendly guy who manages to take the kind of photos I don't have the guts to, due partly, I imagine, to the gift of the gab he clearly has.

John always sees beyond, between and behind the obvious, and his photographs are amazingly comprehensive snapshots of life: the good, the bad and the ugly. Often his work ventures into serious social commentary, but without slant or bias, allowing the pictures to tell the story. That is an amazing gift and we are all the better of being able to view John's work. Finally, what makes John so special is his absolute generosity with his time and talent among those of us less gifted! Who knew Mooching could be so much fun!!
