About the Artist
J.B. Horton
My love affair with photography started in 1969, during my tours in Vietnam, and has continued — with a slight hiatus — to this day.
I began taking pictures as a way of remembering what I saw. Over time, it evolved into a way of showing what I felt. Because exposing my feelings was not an option for me at that time, photography became unavailable to me for about 25 years.
I experienced a personal evolution during that hiatus. As I came to terms with myself, I started to play around with a camera again — and my images evolved right along with me, becoming a way of showing the world what I felt as much as what I saw.
Working with a camera led me to study the craft of photography and the art of expression through that medium. I also studied printmaking, which, until then, I hadn’t realized was a separate field from photography.
I enjoy all forms of photography — portraiture, architectural, product, fine art, and just about any other way you can use a camera. Abstract fine art, though, is where I feel most at home.
