Another one of my favorite Taylor Camp portraits—a classic hippie couple—in a scene that captures the simple aesthetic of their home. Windows that went to the ceiling and clear plastic roofing (reflected in the mirror) provided high key lighting and an uplifting feeling. Soon after I made this photo, John re-roofed the house with corrugated iron sheeting—more durable and weatherproof but the magic light was gone.
“John was an awesome musician. He had this band called THC, Taylor Hippie Camp. He was the organ player, a really, really good organ player and we used to have incredible dances where he'd be playing with Buffalo Bill and the other guys in the band. John came from New York City, from the Bronx. I came to Taylor Camp and I met him – I was just lying there getting some sun right at the stream – this beautiful stream that goes out into the ocean. He just walked up, and I met him, and we just fell in love and we were so in love. I mean, he was the love of my life. About a year after we left Taylor Camp, John was diagnosed with cancer and he passed just before our daughter, Genie, turned 3-years-old.” — Marie Calagna
PHOTO PRINTS
Prints are on Hahnemuhle heavyweight (315 gsm) 100% archival cotton “Photo Rag Baryta” paper, using archival inks and archival spray coating. They have a 200-year life expectancy before any deterioration of the print will be observed when stored, handled, and displayed under archival conditions.
CANVAS PRINTS
What is often called “Gallery Wrap Canvas” is a fine art inkjet (Giclee) print on canvas, with printed edges to wrap around a wooden stretcher frame, like a painting. With canvas prints, your print image is still the same size, but given a "wrap effect" around the edges to account for the thickness of the stretcher. Canvas can be rolled and shipped with no effect to the print. Your local framing shop should be able to mount the canvas to stretchers at a fraction of the cost of traditional framing, making for an overall more economical way to get fine art on your wall. The canvas is printed to wrap around a 1-inch stretcher (1.5 inches on larger sizes). Specifications will be provided with your order. Feel free to contact us if you need guidance with your canvas order.
John prints, titles, dates, and signs all of his photos.
