Tornado Chaser In Ridgetown

Regina's Greg Johnson has come a long way from being a wedding photographer.

He now chases storms and tornadoes for a living, and has been featured in National Geographic.

Johnson was in Ridgetown this week. He says it's alternative to a more traditional line of work. "A way to define my passion for photography, and be a little different than all the other wedding and baby photographers out there. It just grew into a niche market that really nobody else in Canada was filling."

Johnson also has a Toronto-produced television show starting production next week.
