John Opera

John Opera was born in Buffalo in 1975. Various photos that he has taken have alot to do with nature (landscapes) or geology. The geology part of his photos, I would say, are an inspiration from his father who was a geologist; and according to John, he used to go with his dad and help him in the field, and even then would take pictures of things that would catch his interest.

Meeting John Opera, as one of our guest speakers in our class, he seemed like a very laid back guy with ideas and thoughts that seemed a little out there for me. But regardless of that, I enjoyed his talk and his work that he showed us. One of the images can be seen on the right. As i said before he seemed a little out there, but in my opinion it's best to think outside of the box and explore, then to hide yourself from the world and never experience things or take a risk outside of your comfort zone.
