In the early 1908’s he did a large-format nudes project which was widely exhibited. In the late 80’s and early 90’s he did a project photographing spacecraft of his own design and construction by combining anywhere from three to eight exposures in-camera through special effects techniques he developed himself.

Because of the savings and loan scandal in the late 80s, the commercial photography business in the Southwest took a severe beating. To keep his studio going he found work first in wholesale photofinishing, managing one-hour labs and running the black-and-white department in a professional photo lab.

He moved East in 1993 and found work managing one-hour labs throughout the Northeast and then working in Quality Control for the Allentown Qualex photofinishing plant—the largest wholesale photofinishing plant in the North America. Unfortunately, wholesale photofinishing is done at night, so he sought another opportunity and managed a camera shop in Clinton, New Jersey for a number of years. When he heard that Olympus would be relocating to his doorstep, he submitted a resume to Olympus and was their first Pennsylvania hire.

He has been doing photomicroscopy for about six years and began extreme macrophotography about two years ago. He is a contributor to the Internet magazine Micscape, which is based in the UK.

He lives on South Mountain in Bethlehem with his wife Kathy and four cats. He shoots digital and film from 35mm to 8×10 and still has a wet darkroom.

His first and only camera is a Nikon D200 which he bought in May, 2007. He enjoys long distance travel and photography complements it very well. He did amateur video recording before that.

He plans to show a 15 minute movie about Vietnam with integrated photographs. His wife, Zina, did most of the video recording. He’ll show his best photographs in more detail after the movie.

Please mark your calendars for a very exciting evening of top notch work!

In 1978, the United Nations promoted him to photographer and he retired as the chief of the Photo Unit in 1998. During that time John traveled to more that 100 countries while capturing on film the struggles and triumphs of our changing world.

Throughout his career, John received numerous national and international awards for his work, including the Picture of the Year from Missouri School of Journalism, the First prize in the Photokina International Photo Contest, the Best Outdoor Photograph of the year and the Professional Photographer of the Year by the PhotoImaging Manufacturers and Distributors Association.

Over the years he also received 13 awards from Nikon International Photo Contests. Most recently in January 2000, the International Photographic Council named John Isaac as the recipient of its Lifetime Achievement Award.

John has authored many books including a series called Children in Crisis.

He co-authored “Endangered Peoples” with Art Davidson and Art Wolff for the Sierra club. He also co-authored “Coorg, Land of the Kodavas” with his wife Jeannette about the region Coorg in Southern India.

Besides his work with the United Nations, John provided coverage for UNICEF, working closely with the late actress Audrey Hepburn, Harry Belafonte and Liv Ullman. In 1998, John went to Africa to photograph Liberian children for Luciano Pavarotti’s foundation, Pavarotti and Friends.
