John Matoon is owner of B&C Photo, Inc. in Elmira, which is a full service camera shop and lab that originally opened in 1946. He has a BA in Art from Elmira College, and is also a photographer, potter, and a motion picture junky.
My involvement in the arts stems from birth; I use my experience in the business world to assist Community Arts with financial and operational matters. In the future, I would like to make a documentary film. “My work has always been charged with controversy so I would like to make a film addressing social conditioning.” I hopes to see a film-maker’s class at Community Arts and is looking forward to working with energetic artists who want to do something new.
