Quotes about Kelly Johnson:

"As well, Johnson puts the tools of photography - light, angle and focus - to use with the seamless fluency of a poet...You haven't really experienced her work until you've seen the prints...The ease with which Johnson's subjects reveal themselves is a tribute to her patience and commitment."--Randy Gragg, The Oregonian

"Johnson's shots are as remarkable for their beauty as their profundity." --Don McIntosh, Vanguard

"Her images are proof she remains true to her passion." --Jennifer Lewandowski, The Skanner
