John has been actively interested in photography since 1997. Although not his full-time job, he spends most of his free time taking pictures for himself and others, and learning new techniques.

Although he currently lives in North Carolina due to his job as an Air Force officer, John was raised on the north shore of Lake Tahoe and visits frequently. Having been raised at the lake, he loves all outdoor activities from sailing to backcountry camping to snow-shoeing. These activities provide a unique opportunity to take pictures of scenes that most others might not see. Favorite subjects include historical places, landscapes, and travel.

John is available for travel when his work schedule allows. His website is located at www.jmpeltier.com.
