Louis Valentine Johnson is a classical guitarist and composer. We met a number of years ago when Lou was awarding his annual educational scholarship to a friend of mine. We became fast friends via discussions of creative endeavors. Some time later, Lou approached me about doing a video project for him. He had a series of compositions called the Twelve Moments that he had composed in memory of his son, Alex, and he wanted to make a video series to accompany them. Lou planned a trip to Las Vegas and over the course of a week we filmed, recorded and took photos and The Twelve Moments was born. In the years to follow Lou commissioned several more video projects, and, in 2018, he asked me to create a new website for him, Louisvalentinejohnson.com
