I, John Kennington, have been a photographer for well over 50 years, getting my first camera in 1972 and spending a good chunk of high school in the darkroom. I grew up in New Jersey, only twenty miles from New York City. But it was not city life, as we had 20 acres literally inside the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, inspiring a lifelong interest in birds and the natural world.

After several years in Maine for college, work (and marriage!), we moved to Tulsa in 1982, where we raised our two sons. I am president of the Tulsa Audubon Society and active in other conservation groups. In 2009 I decided to turn my hobby into a profession and began participating in art shows and marketing my work.

My images are from the natural and human worlds, evoking an emotional response from the viewer, from a sense of awe viewing a grand landscape to a wave of nostalgia viewing a vintage steam train. My nostalgic images are original photographs of meticulously recreated historical scenes, and are not colorized vintage images.

My work can be viewed and purchased at www.imagesfor.life and my Facebook and Instagram handles are kenningtonphoto. Hope to see you online!!
