this is johnson wilson. she is eight, she is a private investigator. her arch-enemy is the trickster. she goes to discos. she has a dog called trent. she drinks white wine. she has no parents.
johnson wilson world is a series of short foto-stories created by writer/photographer pamela klaffke and her six-year-old daughter, emma. emma named and created the character, and came up with her signature disguise (brown wig and vintage orange hat); pamela designed and constructed the sets, styled the clothing, and shot the photographs. they wrote the stories together.
the first story, johnson wilson and the case of the broken baby, launched january 27, 2008, with a new installment added every day for six days.
johnson wilson's next case, johnson wilson and the secret life of trent, will debut in fall 2008.
*a note about the photographs: the photos featured in johnson wilson and the case of the broken baby were shot in late-december 2007 and early january 2008 with a holga cfn medium format toy camera and kodak lumiere film that expired february 1996. a few of the photographs have had minor cropping, but otherwise no post-production.
