About John

Another aging baby-boomer with a camera and a web site! Can the world every get enough? I live in northern Vermont, just six miles east of Lake Champlain, where I have recently retired after happily teaching political science in one of our finer mid-sized liberal arts colleges for over four decades.

Photography Equipment

After seventeen years my trusty Sony R1 has also recently retired. It has been a terrific camera but the focus servo has been making some dreadful noises whenever the temperature dips below 50 degrees, which in Vermont is most of the year. I now use a Nikon 3300 with a 18-55 mm and a 70-300 mm lens.

No longer willing to mortgage my home, my bank account and my future to Adobe, I am now using Aftershot Pro and Paintshop Pro, both by Corel. Terrific applications that do 99% of anything Lightroom or Photoshop will do, reasonably priced and on my hard drive, not on Adobe’s hard drive.
