My name is

John Slemp

 

There was a time when I was skinnier, had hair so thick I could hardly drag a comb through it, and had hopes of making a difference in the world.  Some say I have, although I feel there is still much to accomplish.


After 11 years in the US Army, I decided to follow a burgeoning dream of becoming a photographer...much to my parent's chagrin.  

 

Black and white portrait of a young football player in a jersey with the number 83 standing on a field.

 

Now, 30 years later I have achieved that goal...although I still feel like there is much to be learn.


Constantly pursuing the urge to refine my craft, let us use that experience to refine your image.

 

Welcome, I'm glad you're here!
