My introduction to photography was in 1958 when I took several high school photography classes in which we developed and printed our own black and white film. But only since retirement in 2001, have I again become serious about photography. I live in Bellevue, WA (near Seattle) and spend my free time photographing my surroundings. Most of my recent work is of Pacific Northwest venues. Earlier photos are from my work and travels in Asia. robertsjohnj.smugmug.com johnrobertsphotography.wordpress.com/ robertsjohnj@gmail.com
