There are times when one yearns to disconnect from reality—to see differently, to just feel the moment. A knot, a thread, an eye—impressions, a moment. These are the things that anchor dreams. These images are notes from travels and stories, from lives witnessed and recorded. For me, they are sacred moments.
Recently awarded a National Geographic fellowship, Lynn Johnson is known for shooting elusive subjects—language, disease, rape, water—and for asking tough questions. Dedicated to exploring the far reaches of the human condition, she spends maybe two months a year at home in Pittsburgh, packing that camera bag over and over.
