Amy J Johnson

Chasing the Aurora

I moved from New England to Alaska at the age of 18 to quench my thirst for adventure and experience wilderness on an intimate level. I first settled near the Gates of the Arctic National park where I obtained my first SLR camera and developed a love for photography. My passion is photographing the Northern Lights. Sometimes, under aurora-filled skies, I just set my camera aside and appreciate the moment. For me, viewing and photographing the Aurora Borealis is a spiritual experience which heightens my sense of connection to this vast universe.
