Exhibit - "Who is My Neighbor?" Lexington Kentucky Photographer John Lynner Peterson

Lexington Kentucky Photography by John Lynner Peterson.
919-862-6085

Inspired by The Family of Man, this collection illuminates threads of our shared humanity. Our need for food, shelter and love are common to all of us. How we live and meet those needs makes each tribe, culture and nation unique. These photographs reveal my perspective through the choice of subjects I photograph. It is not uncommon to first notice all that separates us. I saw many varieties of dress, food, language and culture as I made these images. I instinctively compared my values and culture to the gracious and hospitable people I encountered. After getting beyond the differences I saw what we shared. Through my viewfinder I got a glimpse of myself as I photographed this amazing variety of humanity.

It is my hope that you will see things that challenge you to reflect on your values and the world we live in. World travel isn't required to find authentic and interesting people! Look carefully. May you observe and see anew your family, friends and community.

Many of these photos have been exhibited and I welcome additional opportunities to share them. A book of selected photographs from the exhibit is also available. Details here:

  • Papua New Guinea The photographs in this collection were made with a Minolta SRT-101 SLR, a Yashica Mat twin lens reflex and a Canon 5D DSLR. Though I had been taking photographs since my youth, my first serious intent came with the purchase of my Minolta in Tokyo on my way to Papua New Guinea in 1969. I added the Yashica in Lae, Papua New Guinea and the digital Canon recently. Though the digital world is amazing, I miss shooting, developing and printing from film. My favorite color film was the fabled Kodachrome. Many of these images were originally in color on Kodachrome 25 and converted to a warm black and white for this collection.
