Sinclair president to host photography exhibition
Sinclair Community College President Steven Lee Johnson also is an accomplished photographer.
Johnson will host an exhibition of his photography starting Friday, Nov. 6, at the Color of Energy Gallery in Dayton’s Oregon District. The exhibition, titled “Signature Red,” is Johnson’s fourth show of his work.
Johnson calls himself a “seasoned amateur photographer” and has a growing collection of more than 100,000 photos from travels in 45 states and 15 countries, according to college officials. He typically focuses on odd angles, close-ups and the effects of ambient lighting to to produce unique views of everyday objects and people.
Johnson selected the title “Signature Red” for two reasons. “First, across tens of thousands of otherwise unrelated photos, I have numerous photos with objects that are deeply saturated red,” Johnson said. “The second reason for the title is no one could think of anything really good.”
Johnson completed his formal education in film, video and photojournalism at the University of Wisconsin-Superior.
The exhibition will run through Jan. 3. Any profits from the show will be donated to the Sinclair Foundation.
The Color of Energy Gallery is at 16 Brown Street in the Oregon Historic District. For more information, click here.
