Kristen Johnson is one of the great documentary photographers in the world. In her last two films, she has started the work of examining herself and allowing us to watch her do it. In Cameraperson, she pushes off the decades of work she had already done and started reexamining. In Dick Johnson is Dead, she pushes off her father and her relationship with him, as he nears the expected end of life and, importantly, their shared loss of her mother. Kirsten took some time to chat with David Poland.
