The visual musings of Vincent David Johnson
Hi there. Welcome to the the Visual Preservationist, as a photographer & filmmaker I have captured many images over the years in both my professional, or personal work that really doesn’t fit my other blogs Commercial Photography, Wedding Photography, or Documentary photography (Lost Americana). So this is the place to share my personal stories & ramblings on the images & topics surrounding them.
Check the posts and categories to the below to start exploring. Might I suggest “That is what I do, Part 1” as it starts with the very first photo I ever took.
Now I’m not great at the website side of things, so if you find something not quite right, let me know, but remember, it’s basically about the photos and the stories that go with them.
Thanks,
Vincent David Johnson
