I’m John Rees. I write and make photographs — slowly, quietly, and with an eye for what often goes unseen.

For four decades, I led a successful and busy life in the technology and consulting world, travelling globally and working at pace. I now live peacefully and creatively in the heart of Snowdonia National Park in North Wales — drawn to the stories, landscapes, and everyday truths that modern life tends to overlook.

This is my quiet corner of the web — a place to share my stories, photography, and daily reflections on what still matters.
