Publisher's Synopsis
Scenery photographer John Hartig's two favourite seasons for pictures are Autumn and Spring. Spring because of the emerging life and colour, the flowers, the orchards, the birds and the sun. Autumn because of the dying colours, the splendid hanging onto life, going out in a colourful blaze of glory, and again the warming sun before winter blows in. I love taking pictures during these times of year.
John lives in the Niagara Region, known for its orchards in springtime and its flowers. Autumn too makes its colourful presence felt by the time October comes around, again with magnificent browns, reds and yellows.
John doesn't ignore Winter and Summer. In Winter I wear my heavy jacket and snuggle my camera inside my coat ready for the next snowy picture. In Summer, I am inspired by the greenery and the heat of the sun and often sit in the back yard or near a bright beach watching boats go by and children play in the sand.
Even with the comfort of the warmth, I anticipate autumn and its magnificent change of colours to reds, greens, yellows and browns. Then there is only the Winter to sleep through, so I can awaken for more picture-taking in Spring for another bout of beautiful flower and orchard photos. It's grand to be alive during this digital age when the camera can do so much! Autumn and Spring are indeed my favourite seasons for "John's Photobook Series".
