Capitol Hill is home to one of the Washington area’s outstanding photographers, Eric Johnson. Working in black and white, he photographs buildings we all know and love. He captures the architecture and unique spaces of places like RFK Stadium and Key Bridge. His work reflects the passage of time with images that flood you with memories. Johnson’s art is often shown at Multiple Exposures Gallery (MEG) at the Torpedo Factory in Old Town Alexandria, and most recently at the Hill Center’s Regional Art Exhibition.

On June 8, the gallery will celebrate its 40th anniversary. Johnson is the president of the gallery, a 15-member organization of local photographers. MEG is one of the last dedicated photo galleries left in the Washington area. Johnson says that “carrying the flag for photography” in the region is something the gallery takes quite seriously.
