Johnson, Michael (landscape) Michael Johnson has been photographing rural America for more than thirty-five years. He is a traditional large format photographer, producing silver/gelatin prints from view camera negatives.His large black and white photographs have been exhibited from New York to Tokyo, where they hang in major museums, corporations, hospitals and private collections. A self-taught photographer, Johnson traces his inspiration to the European master painters of the 17th century. However, his vision has been shaped by the land, itself, especially by the landscape of the driftless area of Northwestern Illinois. Johnson's love for the land extends to other areas of his life as well. He and his wife, Patricia have planted thousands of trees on their family tree farm near Mount Carroll, Illinois, where they operate a small sustainable hardwood lumber business. They were named Illinois Outstanding Tree Farmers in 2003 by the American Tree Farm System. |
