MICHAEL SWAN: TO BOLD GO WHERE NO SPICE HAS GONE BEFORE >>>

I was searching the Web for condiments floating in space and happened upon an upcoming show at the Fine Arts Gallery at Pierce College. Award-winning Seattle photographer David D. Johnson will be the featured artist at the gallery from Sept. 9 to Oct. 22. He’ll take an off the wall look at human nature through his art.

Pierce College wrote a few nice things about Johnson:

Johnson has been teaching and exhibiting his original photography for more than 35 years. His environmental black and white photos have won numerous awards and his work has been featured in 20 solo exhibitions in the U.S. and Europe.

In addition, Johnson has been very active in the local artistic community. He served two years as president and three years as director of programs for the Seattle Art Museum’s Photography Council. He was honored as volunteer of the year by the art museum in both 1993 and 1998. He has also served on the board of directors for the University of Washington Extension Photography program and for Blue Earth Alliance, a non-profit organization that supports documentary photographers around the world.
