History
My name is John Caughlan and my wife and I reside in St. Cloud,
Minnesota. I have been taking pictures of the North Shore since 2002. The
first couple of years I used my father's Pentax 35mm camera. During this time
I learned about lighting and composition, developing an "eye" for images.
In 2004 I purchased my first digital camera, a Nikon D100, with the hopes
of taking my photography to the next level. Since then I have expanded my
photography equipment and subject matter to include portrait pictures.

Goals
My photography goals include: to learn as much
as I can from other photographers, pursue creative avenues within my photography,
market my work on and off-line, and continue to provide new and updated images
on my website. We enjoy feedback from people, please let us
know what you think of our images.
