Water: A Photographic Portrait

A new photographic portrait of water on Earth, in so many of its forms, by landscape photographer Stephen Johnson.

From the introduction:

Water is life. This Earth is largely a water planet. Even after living next to the sea for almost 40 years, I continue to be mesmerized by the ebb and flow of the surf and rhythmic rise and fall of the sea beyond. I’ve often said that somehow we know we came from the sea, but that’s intuition bolstered by current evolutionary theory. There is something even more essential than either notion, something so deep inside that it feels beyond words.

Golden Gate Park Digital Field Photography Class

Golden Gate Park Digital Field Photography Class

After a few years of working intensely on my Urban Eden Golden Gate Park project, I am excited to offer a two-day photographic workshop in this complex and beautiful landscape. Now 150 years old, this park symbolizes parkland engineering and the earth itself taking its own course of life and fecundity. The park will be explored over two days with a blend of photographic opportunity, assistance, and my growing knowledge of its own back woods. This springtime weekday workshop will avoid some of the weekend crowds.
