OM10: Fago B&W PrintsDescription
John Fago (r), the official Other Minds Festival photographer, taken while he was preparing an exhibit of his works for OM 10, in San Francisco in March of 2004.John Fago studied and practiced painting but turned to photography in the mid 1970s. In 1979 he left on the first of many extended photographic journeys, traveling for six months in Asia and North Africa. He has since traveled Peru, Tibet, Brazil and other exotic locations, often contributing photographs to the Christian Science Monitor and other respected publications. A long-standing involvement in music led him to photographing the Cajun and Zydeco music scene in southwestern Louisiana, the Composer-to-Composer festivals at Telluride from 1988 to 1991, and, subsequently, the Other Minds festivals from 1993-2016. Fago prints reside in permanent collections including the Smithsonian’s National Gallery of American Art in Washington, D. C., the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson, Arizona, and the University of California at Santa Cruz. John Fago has done residencies at Light Work in Syracuse, N. Y. and the Djerassi Resident Artist Program in Woodside, California. In 2001, he became a MacDowell Fellow.
