RECENT JOHN SEXTON EVENTS

I am thrilled to have been invited to be a part of the Adobe Distinguished Lecture Series. I will be presenting a brand new lecture Ansel Adams: An Inspiration on Thursday, June 24 at 4:00 pm at Adobe’s Park Auditorium at their headquarters in San Jose.

This lecture will focus primarily on Ansel’s photography, and explore the nuances of his renowned photographic vision. During this audio-visual presentation Ansel’s images will be transformed on the screen from the negative to the final print - progressing through various phases in the evolution of a finely crafted expressive print. In addition, I will be showing a number of my own images and discussing the inspiration and influence that Ansel has had on my photography, as well as his effect on other photographers and photography in general.

The lecture is free and open to the public. Directions to the facility can be found here. A book signing will follow the lecture, for those that are interested. I look forward to seeing some newsletter subscribers at this event.

JOHN TO LECTURE FOR SPECTRUM ART GALLERY IN FRESNO, OCTOBER 23, 2008

I am honored to be presenting a lecture for the Spectrum Art Gallery in Fresno, California on Thursday evening, October 23, 2008 at 7:00 pm. The talk will be held at the Bonner Auditorium at the Fresno Art Museum. This presentation is part of Spectrum Art Gallery’s grand reopening celebration for their new location in Fresno’s Tower Arts District. This event will kick off their annual print auction weekend. Admission to the lecture will be $10.00. My talk will include images that span my thirty-five year career in photography.

In addition, a portion of the talk will incorporate examples and anecdotes drawn from my close working relationship with Ansel Adams. Images will be transformed on the screen from the negative to the final print, progressing through various creative steps in the evolution of an expressive photographic print. I will be available after the lecture to sign copies of my most recent book, Recollections. I’m looking forward to seeing a number of my photographic friends from the Fresno and Central Valley area, as well as making new friends.

As an added bonus, each attendee at my presentation will be issued a drawing ticket. There will be a drawing at the Spectrum Art Gallery Auction on Saturday night, October 25, 2008. One lucky attendee will win an 11x14" print of my image Sea of Aspen. The ticket holder must be present at the auction to be eligible to win the special drawing. In addition, I am pleased that I will have an additional image, Frost Covered Boulders, included in the fund-raising auction.
