From the Mountains to the Sea - part 5 of 1 2 3 4 5

Published 01/04/2013

Something had to give, and a year ago John finally gave up his day job as a head buyer in a hospital, to devote himself full time to his landscape photography. "We also believe very strongly in putting something back into our craft, and I'm now chairman of the Snowdonia Arts Festival and I'm using that position to try to promote photography as an art form, since I don't believe that it gets the same credit here that it does in America. However, I also want to get involved with all forms of art not just photography; quite simply I will use any medium available to get the visual message across. I always say that if a single image communicates everything I want to say then it ends there."

There's no doubting that John is relishing the choices he has made and, by devoting himself so fully to the creative arts, he's found the ideal outlet for his boundless passion. "My love affair with Snowdonia is ongoing," he says simply. "My new lecture will be 'The journey will never end,' and, for me, that just about sums it up."
