John N. Atadan

Hi All,
I finally finished Johns photography and darkroom art website. It's really great to see all his work together in one place. Outside of all his photographic art work there are many pictures of his friends from that era in Delaware. If you know anything about the photos let me know. I don't recognize many people it would be great to know who they are. Anyway, John was brilliant - no other word. I hope you all enjoy it- the address is atadanart.com (if for some reason they don't...

One year later... John you are missed so very much. May God keep you close until we see you again.

Denis, I don't have your email address but ask that you contact me through Fran when the website and other projects you all are creating for John are ready for prime time. I had such a brief look at his art work it was painful to have to walk away. Thank everyone for making sure it will be made available for us all to visit to our hearts content.

i feel so lucky to have experienced his glinting radiance, his sweetness.
all love to the family.

Dear Friends of John's,

Thank you so much for all the kind words and memories of my brother John. It really means a tremendous amount to all of us in the family. I wanted to mention a few things to you all.

First, the service we had for John was wonderful. We put together a full retrospective of his still unbelievably fresh and vibrant photography. I believe it was the 1st time I had looked at all of works as a whole and it struck me how amazing it was how he could create works...

I first met John as he was taking that great big old station funned wagon he had painted with neon orange spray paint "Studebaker Hawk & his Honolulu fruit band." John added drawings of various tropical fruits and ukele pictures I think. Exemplified his wonderful creative spirit. A truly dear poetic soul. We are forever richer for having known you John. Your shoes remain empty.
