Short Bio
Marilyn Lowney Johnson- artist, photographer, teacher.
Statement
In Tales of a Consulting Detective, Sherlock Holmes said: “You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear.”
I take my camera out. I may choose a subject; I may think “that would make a great picture”; I may visit a new place or one I’ve seen before.
I want to observe and to present things in a way that causes the viewer to stop and observe.
We have the technology to immediately capture whatever is in front of us. The challenge is for people to slow down; to question whether there is only one way to look at something; and to search for new meaning in something they may have seen before.
