Randy Johnson, photographer: he's good.

PHOENIX — With great enthusiasm, in great detail, Randy Johnson talks of watching through a camera lens as wild dogs in Africa chased a leopard from the carcass of a gazelle, and how the leopard stayed warily nearby for his chance to salvage what food it could. He witnessed female lions work to extract a dead baby elephant floating down a river, the male lion watching from above on a nearby ridge.

He has photographed rock-star friends from onstage and taken his cameras on USO tours to military installations around the world.

When he left baseball, photography was a natural outlet for Johnson. He had been a photojournalism major at USC.

I've commssioned and purchased professional photography for over 35 years. Johnson has a good eye for design, composition and context, and nails it technically. More samples at his website, http://rj51photos.com

I wonder if he has a fast enough exposure to shoot a 100mph fastball. KamaAina Jul 2015 #1
