Click It Or Lick it - John Oliver Hodges

John Oliver Hodges started taking pictures in high school, in Florida, afterwards attending the Southeast Center for Photographic Studies in Daytona Beach, where he learned about photographic processes and the history of photography. His favorite photographers are Chauncey Hare, Danny Lyon, Milton Rogovin, August Sander and the documentary photographers of the Farm Security Administration.

He was a contributor to Archive Photo for about a month, but something went wrong there, and they let him go. He was an artist in Residence at Light Work in Syracuse. When his money ran out, he supported his photo habit with factory work until going back to school. Eventually he took an MFA degree in Creative Writing, and now works as a teacher in New Jersey. His photos have appeared in many magazines.

A pictorial history of both the intimate and iconic moments of everyday life, Hamburger Eyes is a travel journal, a personal diary, and a family album. Inspired by the traditions that began with Life magazine and Robert Frank, the magazine revitalizes the sensation of photography as a craft as well as a tool to record and document.
