VL Photographer Spotlight Artspan John Lomba John Lomba Maritime Photography www.jglomba.com “My name is John Lomba, and I have the honor and pleasure of being asked once again to submit some of my favorite maritime-related images to Visual Language Magazine. I was asked to give a bit more detail about myself, which for me is not so easy to do, as I prefer to let my images do the talking. As the old saying goes “a picture is worth a thousand words”.

I believe that I am a better photographer than writer, and by the time you finish this brief bio I expect you will feel the same way! I had also made a submission to the August 2013 publication for those of you who wish to see my 1st contribution to VL Magazine.

My photography career goes back to the early 1980’s using a 110 Minolta Instamatic and then waiting 2 weeks for them to be developed, which seemed like an eternity! I recall ‘discovering’ a few blurry shots of my thumb blocking the lens! Not exactly what I had envisioned.

A few years later, I upgraded to 35mm and even set up my own black & white darkroom in dad’s basement on beautiful Cape Cod. It was around this time when my love of photography first started to take it’s effect.

After a 4-year stint at a local Maritime college, mixed in with a somewhat brief stint of sailing on various merchant vessels, I now find myself now living in the greater New York City metropolitan area after working shore-side at various posts within the maritime field.

In 2010, I had my ‘ah ha’ moment when I realized that my career and interest in the maritime field could make a seamless marriage with photography as well. Initially a skeptic of digital photography, and somewhat of a ‘newbie’ in the website world, I am now proud to say I have my own website (thank you Artspan!) at www.jglomba.com. Please feel free to look around.

Someday, I tell myself and remind Mrs. Lomba as well, I will get that sail boat to take yet more photos but from a different perspective.
