JAN SWAN
My favorite form of art has always been photography. There is a place in my world for painting, which you will see here, but taking photographs is my first love. My on-going project is photographing cats "from the street." I recently published a book of 80 of these photographs and am well under way for volume two. I hope you enjoy browsing my galleries. If you want, please sign my guestbook. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
