Recently, John Burcham, a beloved Flagstaff photographer, was seriously injured in a climbing accident in Sedona. He is recovering from a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and is currently unable to see. The road ahead will be long and challenging, requiring extensive medical care, rehabilitation, and time away from work, placing heavy emotional and financial strain on John and his family.

John is a devoted husband, father, and friend whose warmth, generosity, and integrity have left a lasting impact on everyone who knows him. With more than 30 years as a commercial and editorial photographer, his work has captured the beauty of Northern Arizona’s landscapes, adventure, and deep connection to place. Beyond his work, John is known for his inclusivity, salty sense of humor, and steady presence in the Flagstaff and the international outdoor community.

During this difficult time, the Burcham family needs help with medical expenses, ongoing treatments, rehabilitation, and daily living costs. Your support will allow John to focus on healing without the added burden of financial stress.

John has always given so much to his family, his community, and his craft. Now is our chance to show up for him. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. Thank you for your generosity and for supporting a man who has touched so many lives with his kindness and dedication.
