A group exhibit by Gabriola Photography Club\, in collaboration with John'\;s family

John was an inspirational photographer\, skilled in film\, digital\, black &\; white and colour. His primary subjects ranged from the natural environment and human culture of northern Canada\, where he lived and worked for many years\, to the energy and beauty of Gabriola&rsquo\;s forests and sandstone shores.

John shared his photographic knowledge with generosity and humility. He took part in most of our shows and club meetings\, right up until a week before his death a year ago. More often than not\, we learned something valuable from the little gems of wisdom he quietly shared with us. We remember him with great fondness\, and this show is our attempt to honour his memory. \;(Photo by Bill Pope.)

Our thanks to John&rsquo\;s wife MJ and daughter Anne for lending some of John&rsquo\;s wonderful work to this show and for keeping his website accessible. It&rsquo\;s \;definitely worth a visit.

From some of our Club members who are participating in the show:


John&rsquo\;s eye for subtlety and meaning were gifts which he freely and humbly shared with all of us. His insights were much appreciated.

John saw the world with amazing perception and expressed what he saw in the art of photography. Walking the trails of Gabriola\, you could bump into him\, his tripod and camera slung over his shoulder\, and if you were lucky there would be a brief chat. Under the sometimes gruff exterior he was curious and kind\, sharing his knowledge with thought and care. We are better for his discerning eye.

John inspired me with his vast collection of work\, and I appreciated how knowledgeable and happy to help he was. I loved to hear his comments\, always kind and encouraging.

John shared his knowledge with a gentle\, humble approach. I learned a lot from him\, both at club meetings and in our personal conversations. He was highly skilled\, inspiring and encouraging the rest of us to love and practice photography in whatever way best suited us.
