John's Photography

Last new photo added: 6/96

As you can see, this hasn't been updated in a while.
Here's a lot of older work. I'll be putting new stuff on my Flickr site.

Well, I've finally gotten some time so scan some more pic in. Mostly train-related pics, but will put some more in later. I have found a keen graphics convert program which will take my APS and GIF files and make them into nice jpeg files, which make for a smaller download, and better color photos... enjoy

Well, I've impressed myself by having enough photos to make this a big page, so here are some jumping points. Let's see if I can thing of come cooler graphics in the future though. :)
