Kerry Vernon Johnson




My friend Kerry is a professional photographer who has lived in the Grand Canyon for the last twenty or so years. He sells more photographs than anyone I know, at National Parks all over America and through his South Rim Studio. Kerry knows and loves Native American land and slickrock country better than anyone I know.


Kerry and I painted together in college and have been hiking and photography buddies for many years, along with his lovely wife Jasmine, who is also a very accomplished photographer.

Kerry has a keen and sometimes perverse eye. His photos are often painterly, grand and eloquent snapshots of life and nature. He finally sent me a few snapshots for the blog.
