LOCAL PHOTOGRAPHER AND TEACHER FEATURED AT JOHN WAYNE AIRPORT
Photos by Dennis Dunton on Display through December 20

SANTA ANA, Calif. – Photography by Dennis Dunton is on display through December 20, 2006 as part of John Wayne Airport’s (JWA) ongoing “Community Focus Program” featuring local Orange County artists. Dunton’s photographs are displayed in the Thomas F. Riley Terminal on the departure (upper) level between the ticket counter and security checkpoint areas and on the arrival (lower) level near baggage carousels 1 and 4.

Dunton, a native of Costa Mesa, has taught photography at El Toro High School for 25 years. Living and working in the surroundings of Orange County, Dunton photographs in black and white film capturing landscapes, close-up still life, architectural abstracts, and images that cannot be captured easily. His photographs are not digitally altered in any way and are intended to represent not only a place, but a feeling as well.

Dunton is one of more than 70 artists featured since the inception of JWA’s Community Focus Program in 1996. He has been involved in a number of exhibits including Status Gallery in Laguna Beach, Laguna Beach Winter Festival and the Art-A-Fair Festival in Laguna Beach.
