RON JOHNSON

As a ‘baby boomer,’ I traveled a lot. Never more that 2-3 years in any one location or school. Finally settling down in Colorado, I studied engineering, political science international law and business in university. That was cut short by the military lottery during Vietnam. I served a tour in the Navy, all of it in Japan where I met my wife-to-be. Returned to Colorado, studied commercial photography, and began a 40 year career in architectural photography. My work won some awards, was widely published, and allowed me to travel. That travel opened my eyes to the landscape surrounding us, and to the art and culture of both the American west and that of Japan. I became aware of the spirit residing in elements within the landscape. Finding and capturing that spirit continues to guide my work today. My work has exhibited widely, won some awards, and I hope to publish some of it as a book.
