Photography by John Fass

 

Waterdropsektachrome1962

 

John Fass created photographs for his own pleasure. Many of his 35mm Kodachrome transparencies reveal his interest in exploring the basic elements of sight and design: elements such as line, shape, texture, light and color.

Very few people actually saw John's photography.  He did not mount exhibitions or display his photos in galleries.  His photography was for himself.
