This episode’s guest grew up in the same town as me, Burlington, Massachusetts. John is a bit younger, so we didn’t know each other as kids. However, we were definitely incubated, so to speak, in a similar manner. While I went to engineering school, John went to art school and has been involved in metalsmithing and applied design all of his adult life.

Where we grow up, and what we are exposed to growing up, can have big impact on on our view of the world as adults. With artists, these views usually shine thorough; sometimes brightly and sometimes subtly.
Johnny is an artist I came across on Instagram. He lives in Berlin and creates 2 types of photographs. His blue series, dark and serious, and his Polaroids, which are playful, and a bit pornographic in nature.
