« Picturing a People is primarily a study of [George] Johnston's life and his work. It combines interviews with his family and friends with dramatizations of his life growing up to accent his exquisite photographs. Although many of his photographs are posed, they never seem contrived or staged, undoubtedly because of the subjects' ease and familiarity with the photographer and their mutual appreciation for the local landscape. »
