Featured Photographer

Melissa Johnson

Photographer Melissa Johnson, known on Flickr as Web Betty, documents the vibrant city around her, whether in her home state of Colorado or throughout her travels. When we come across her photos on Flickr, her work is instantly recognizable: her compelling use of color and light, her ability to capture mood and movement, and her talent for photographing subjects who are fully embracing life, community and the moment.
