Photography by Johnathan Johnson

Meet Johnathan Johnson, the 23-year-old Tarrant County College student who moved to Oak Cliff from Old East Dallas in July. He’s originally from Cleburne, population 30,000, about 90 miles south of here. “I grew up in the country, and I’ve always been attracted to street photography, but there’s not a lot of that you can do in the country,” he says. “Moving to Oak Cliff, it was like this explosion of just wanting to see everything and do everything.” Johnson works for The Collegian newspaper at TCC, where he’s also learning to use film and work in the darkroom. “I have such great professors there who encourage me to keep working,” he says.
