Conrad 'Bud' Johnson was an avid photographer during his time in the Southwest Pacific. His photos straddle the line between science and art, between a soldier collecting data and man connecting with people. These photos are windows into the past, glimpses into the landscapes and people during Bud's time on the island. The land and sea are presented as lush and vast, pockmarked with the skeletons of machines from the World Wars. The photos of people are scientific and artistic. There was a goal to capture the people and their homes in a static representation. But, there are also photos of people that are at moments personal, portraits that go beyond the surface and become human.

"Two House Kiaps and the village cook-house located about two hundred yards from the Village of Kopikiri and down a hill from it. The hut on the left is the house Kiap for the Anglo visitors (tax collectors and Missionaries) and the one in the middle of the picture is for native visitors from other villages. The hut second from the right in the picture serves no special purpose other than storage, and the house on the extreme right behind the palm is the community cook-house where the women do their cooking and then bring it back to their huts to be consumed.鈥�
