John is the Artistic Director of Stratford Summer Music, a successful music festival that happens here every summer. I was taking John's photo for an online arts magazine that I am a co-founder of called Start Stratford He was kind and enthusiastic when I arrived and was very open to any ideas I had. He was not shy about having his photo taken, so the shoot went pretty smoothly. This is my favourite portrait to date. I think it says a great deal about who John is...a mayoral quality. This is my intent for portraiture-to capture both the obvious( and not so obvious), as I continue the dive-though perhaps its a dive upwards, in ascension? I shall try.
You can read about John in the July 2010 issue of Start Stratford Arts and Culture Magazine.
