#855 - John Simmons

"I was able to look through that camera and to see things that I loved. I loved my community. I love my people as I do now"

~ John Simmons

Johnny doesn’t employ any trickery in his photography. He is in the long tradition of the concerned photographer. His images convey a universal humanity and a deep understanding of his own community and background. He is blessed with a special talent to observe the everyday moment and to make it profound and deeply moving. He is a man possessed with enormous grace.
