I grew up in Milwaukee, WI, studied Photography at The Layton School of Art.; was a photog for the USAF, The Las Vegas News Bureau, Lake Tahoe News Bureau, UNLV and had my own commercial studio in Vegas for about 10 years...Went into Christian ministry for 11 years, sold cars for 5 and have been doing real estate for over 5 years. After living in Las Vegas for 42 years, my wife & I have relocated to Greensboro, NC. My lovely wife and I have been married for more than 40 years and we have two grown sons and 5 grandchildren.

After not touching a camera for nearly 20 years, I shot a few frames up in Zion National Park with a point & shoot Olympus that I got for recording my real estate listings. I thought, "This is kind of fun...like it was when I was in high school and art school...taking pix for fun and not for a pay check." My wife "forced" me into getting a better camera and I have really enjoyed photography again and Flickr has added greatly to that enjoyment.

All my images on Flickr are for your personal enjoyment. If you desire high quality, giclee prints, email me @ john.goad@yahoo.com.
