John Eaton, “English Cathedrals”
Aptos photographer John Eaton first used a camera in 1958, when his father lent him a fold-out Kodak to use on a school trip to Paris. He became passionate about the craft in the last decade, focusing on architecture and landscape. The interest in architecture comes from his father, brother, and son, all of whom are architects. His current body of work focuses on medieval cathedrals and his wonder at their amazing scale and the divine purpose for which they were created. “It’s these elements that I’m attempting to capture in my photographs—structures that signal strength and purpose, beauty and majesty, elegance and grace, exuberance and awe, intimacy and reflection...” John Eaton
