THE DRAMA, BEAUTY, TERROR AND AFTERMATH OF TORNADO ALLEY...
Blown Away is one man's journey into and through the most horrific and awe-inspiring storm season on record. Join Canada's Tornado Hunter, Greg Johnson, on this deeply personal journey and you, too, will be Blown Away.
In his own words and stunning color photographs, Greg Johnson crosses the 49th Parallel to bring a fresh and intimate perspective to the life of the storm chaser on both sides of the US-Canada border. Travel with Johnson through 12 American states and two Canadian provinces (Saskatchewan and Manitoba) in his quest to not only intercept but document some of the most devastating storms on record, like the EF5 tornado that devastated Joplin, Missouri on May 22, 2011.
Blown Away is also a look inside the world of severe weather photography, and Johnson provides tantalizing detail of his equipment and shot strategies that will satisfy the amateur and professional photographer alike.
Through his active social media presence with real-time blogging and chase video postings, Johnson also invited amateur photographers to submit their own photos, some of which are included in the pages of Blown Away.
Blown Away highlights Greg's artistic eye and technical precision in photographically capturing a most difficult subject . . . Mother Nature at her most tempestuous.
