John December

My dream is to earn a living as an independent writer, photographer, and Web publisher. Building my online presence over time, I reached that dream of independence long ago.

I wrote about the World Wide Web during its dynamic emergence, and I continue to navigate the online world. My Web site, johndecember.com, is a legacy of that journey.

Today, I take photos of everyday moments and scenes, study and read about urbanism, transportation, and cultural geography, and use my skills to live simply.

My writing and advocacy these past years has been focused on urban transportation issues. While the last few decades marked the development of cyberspace, I think 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 find out more about me in my biographical statement.

I am grateful to all the people who have helped me on my journey--my instructors in school, college, and graduate school--as well as my family, friends, students, employers, clients, and colleagues, including fellow photographers, Web publishers, writers, and transit riders. Also, thank you to those who have used my books, online works, licensed my photography, and who visit my Web site regularly.
