Johnson’s photography career came into the spotlight last year on the 20th anniversary of his spring training mishap with a bird that dared to fly through the path of one of his pitches.

"My career as a Major League baseball pitcher has been well documented, but what is not as well known is my passion for photography, which began when I studied photojournalism at the University of Southern California from 1983-85," Johnson writes on his website. "Baseball became my occupation for two decades but my love of photography never left. Following my 2010 retirement, I was able to focus my attention back to this passion."
