Happy Anniversary!


Ten years ago (November 2008), john.seelbinder.org was born, providing a platform with which to share my photography with you.


Ten years ago was also the last time this website had an update. Well - to be honest, it's never had an update. It's remarkable it has held up so well. A decade is an eternity in the World Wide Web. This website has been long overdue for a facelift. Thank you for your patience.


2019 ushers in the first major upgrade and relaunch of john.seelbinder.org since its inception. The design is cleaner and more tightly focused on the images. An effort has been made to make the website responsive for mobile devices like smart phones and tablets, while presenting larger and richer images for big screens. Additionally, behind the scenes, a framework has been put in place to make it much easier to update, maintain, and expand the image galleries. That's good news, because it means it's likely I'll be updating the website with new content more frequently than in the past.


Over the course of the last decade, my ideas on what "photography" means to me has evolved as well. I have a greater interest in photography as an artistic expression of creativity, rather than simply a method of recording a scene or moment. Going forward, expect to see on this website both traditional photography and digitally manipulated works, including textured images and "digital paintings" ... photographic art.
