John E Adams

Photography has been a passion for over 54 years, since the age of 13 when I taught myself photography, darkroom processing and built my first enlarger with a handsaw, scrap plywood and a light bulb borrowed from the living room.

I had a second awakening with the discovery of the High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDR) late in 2007 where with a good set of images, the results can be truly spectacular and this has been part of my workflow ever since. Beyond just trying to frame a good image, the process is a much more intimate involvement with the creation of art, and a new cycle of creative development continues to evolve for me.

From Nature, to Cars and Bikes my work has been very successful, from being featured as an EasyRiders and V-Twin magazines motorcycle artist for the year to a Top Ten finalist in the Nature Conservancy’s first ever digital photography contest.

I also retired after 20 years on active duty with the United States Navy and another 20 year career with the NCIS.
