Visit Phantom Galleries and Catch a Glimpse of the Real Story of Lakewood, CA

If you live in the Long Beach area and love photography, come out this weekend to witness the story of Lakewood as you’ve never seen it before.

This Saturday, Tom Johnson’s photo exhibit, “Lakewood Project,” can be viewed at Phantom Galleries LA, 350 E. 3rd Street, in Long Beach. An artist’s reception will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday.

Before picking up the camera, Tom spent more than 10 years modeling in Europe, and New York. Though he enjoyed modeling, it wasn’t until he stepped behind the camera that he found his true passion.

Tom’s passion for photography and his need to find authenticity through the camera lens, led him to focus on the “Lakewood Project,” a photographic journal of the streets and neighborhoods where he grew up.

These days, he walks the streets capturing simple moments to help him piece together the story of Lakewood. It’s a project that he has been working on for the last eight years.

Tom’s vivid representation of history and life of his hometown will make you think differently about world around you.

Tom Johnson’s Lakewood photographs will be on display until August 2, 2010.

For more information about the photographic exhibit, call the Phantom Galleries at 323-793-7371.

I hope to see you there.
