John Goodyear was born in Toronto and now lives in
St. Catharines. His love of photography started at the age of fourteen
when he and his best friend were photographed with a Polaroid camera
at a retail store. He still has that photograph.
"I like to think that some of my father's artistic talent
has rubbed off on me. Although I couldn't draw a circle to save
my life, I use some of the same principles of art in my photography".
An artist will use paint, color and texture. A photographer uses
light, shutter speeds, apertures and film speeds to capture moments
in time.
"Some would consider my full time job as a radio broadcaster
interesting but my adrenaline really flows when I'm off the air
and in the woods with the wildlife. There's a special feeling when
a bear, or a buck, allow you into their space...a bond... almost,
even if only for a moment!"
