Chicago churches: A photographic essay
As the granddaughter of an Episcopal minister, 24-year-old Elizabeth Johnson grew up with an ever-burgeoning interest in churches. In this, her first book, the School of the Art Institute graduate explores her longtime passion from a loving point of view, beautifully capturing the architectural, spiritual and communal grandeur of our fair city's churches. Her images are so ethereal, you just may experience your own epiphany looking at them. --Chicago Social, DecemberPerhaps it was pure coincidence or maybe divine inspiration that led Elizabeth Johnson to capture so much sky in her photographs of Chicago churches. So many images of brick and stone set against iridescent skies seem to speak volumes about a subjectfaiththat can be so hard to put into words. And perhaps that is the true beauty of Johnson's new book...to make faith something we can see rather than just feel. --Chicago Tribune, December 1, 1999
