I was fortunate enough to receive a family photograph taken around 1924 that was in remarkable shape. John made copies for me that were even better than the original. The sharpness is amazing. I will definitely recommend John to friends and family.

I stopped by John's booth at the Parker Days festival with a couple friends. There was one photograph that caught one of my friend's eye; she really liked it. When she stepped outside the tent to look at a photo of the Maroon Bells, I whispered to John that I wanted him to save that photo for me because she was going to have it for her birthday. The following week I called John, made arrangements to come to his studio, and he met me there 30 minutes later. The deal was done and there are at least three happy people because of it -- John because he made a sale, me because I was able to purchase

It was a surprise Birthday, Retirement and Renewing Our Wedding Vows party for my wife. I hired John and his assistant to photograph the party and he did an EXCELLENT job of capturing the party in his photographs. When I arrived with my wife for the party John and his assistant perfectly photographed my wife's expression of unbelief that the party was for her. Throughout the party John was immediately available when I requested a specific photograph. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND John for any event where you want to capture the true meaning of the event and also the unexpected things that happen.
