Patterns and Distractions Photography by Russell Johnson

Images from around the world of patterns and abstractions created by nature and humans, from a man-like shape in volcanic lava, to doves in a banyan tree, prom dresses on a rack, and the air intake of a Russian MIG fighter plane. Some express reality, some are abstract, some whisper a story or ask a question. Some are just pretty pictures. Patterns and Distractions is a followup to Russell Johnson's earlier book "Street Level," featuring street photography of people and places.
