JOHN "Hap" MURPHY - Photos from an inquisitive
mind.
Hap loved to
explore the magic of his Father’s darkroom, and more than once
ruined negatives
when the light crept in with him while sneaking a peek.
He studied art in
college but never felt satisfied in those studies and stretched his
imagination
to cover the interests he found in the real world. While
Hap still paints and draws,
his favorite form of art has always been the camera.
Digital
photography now supplies him with the best of all darkrooms – no
chemicals,
and endless possibilities. The days of chemical solutions
have been
replaced with Photoshop on his computer, but it is still
magic.
Hap’s
fascination with the world continues and he finds it full of
inspiration.
His camera is always close at hand
to capture an
unexpected moment in time.
“I hope you
find some touches of my reality fun to view
and that it makes you want
to explore your world more closely.”
