Spirit of 76
A limited-Edition NFT
Spirit of ’76
John’s first NFT project, “Spirit of ’76”, is what happens when you happen to be a top fine art photographer, and you decide to recreate moments from youth. We are not talking about graduation or when you made the football team. No sir! These images are Johns’s coming of age experiences growing up in South Florida in the mid-1970s. Peter Frampton hits #1 US with his album Frampton Comes Alive! Long hair and flares were flapping in the wind. Getting high was always the mission. Acid, pot, alcohol, shrooms, and even glue fueled most interaction and entertainment. There were no safe spaces back. Growing up was and is always a gamble, especially for the more adventurous. For John, it was a passing moment; for others, it was their final destination.
Teens at their best
These re-creations of true stories include rock shows by the Rolling Stones & Queen, a girl who claimed to be a witch, a local millionaire who kept dolphins in a saltwater pool, getting to second base in the back seat, climbing the water tower, the infamous murder of a wealthy widow, an inter-racial romance, various overdoses, and the death of one of his best friends in a car wreck. Although this is John’s journey back to his youth, set in Florida, his images provoke strong memories and flashbacks for anybody who went to high school in the seventies regardless of city or country. For younger generations, John’s work is a chance to look in on a 70’s teenager’s world in meticulous detail, beautifully framed and captured in John’s exquisite and, at the same time, haunting images.
