I’m here now! Milwaukee Journal Sentinel photojournalist by day, abstract artist by night. Or whenever I walk by my canvas in the basement on the way to do laundry.

Today I photographed cars frozen to the street on the east side of Milwaukee due to a water main break. It’s always something different. #milwaukee #wiwx #weather #cold

Get to know award-winning Milwaukee Journal Sentinel investigative reporter John Diedrich As a college student, John Diedrich drove newspaper trucks for the Milwaukee Journal and Milwaukee Sentinel. Now, he's an investigative journalist.

I started in this biz delivering papers as a college student.
Now I am blessed to be able to tell people's stories (and also to work with remarkable and genuinely good people like

What packing up after an art show looks like. Thank you to everyone who came out (in -20° windchill🥶) and those who picked up some art. We raised $1027.50 for Sojourner Peace Center in Milwaukee, which helps provide food and shelter for families affected by domestic violence. Way to go kind people!
