John December

I am an independent writer, photographer, and Web publisher.

I studied, wrote, and spoke about the online world during the World Wide Web's dynamic emergence. My site, johndecember.com, is a legacy of that journey.

Today, I photograph everyday moments and scenes, study and read about urbanism, transportation, and cultural geography, and use my skills to live simply. I’m committed to lifelong learning and personal growth as a way of living.

My writing and advocacy now center on urban transportation. While the last decades were about the development of cyberspace, the next decades will involve our remaking of real space--the world of cities, housing, transportation, and human-centered versions of the built environment.

You can read more about me in my biographical statement.

I thank those who have helped me on my journey: family, friends, teachers, employers, clients, students, colleagues, photographers, writers, editors, web publishers, creatives, transit riders, urbanists, and people I have met along the way. I also recognize the readers, sponsors, and organizations who have engaged with my books, photography, and online work. All the people who have given me support are part of the broader conversation I’ve been contributing to for decades.
