A few words from John: Growing up in Kalispell, Montana, it was natural for me to be in the outdoors, whether it was hunting, fishing or just hiking in Glacier National Park. I moved to Minnesota to go to school and my intentions were to move back to Montana, but here I am still in Minnesota. After school I took up bowhunting and to further my time in the northwoods of Minnesota, I also dived into photography. Little did I know how photography would begin to open my eyes on so many things besides Whitetail deer. I love to photograph the flora and fauna of Minnesota, but I also enjoy traveling and photographing around other parts of the country. My camera and lenses have always been Nikon but they are just the tools to get the image, it is the photographer's vision to create the image. I have been a member NPS (Nikon Professional Services) for many years! Many of my images have been used by Bowhunter Magazine, Peterson Bowhunting, Game and Fish Magazine, plus many other outdoor related magazines, and various calendar and notecard companies. Feel free to contact me if you have any question on my photography or if searching for a particular type of image . Also if interested in use of an image for home, office, editorial or e-commerce use please send me an e-mail and I will get back to you as quickly as possible.
