Wayne Johnston is a painter, a performance artist, a writer and a librarian. It is primarily through his career as a librarian that Wayne has had the opportunity to endulge his desire for travel. From setting up a resource centre on wildlife management in the Canadian Arctic to working with refugees and victims of war in Croatia, he feels fortunate to not only travel to some fascinating places but to engage with the local people over extended periods of time. It is through thinking back over these experiences that Wayne realized that he missed those cities like he missed old friends. It gave him the longing to see those cities one more time and to explore how revisiting them would impact the memories that he cherishes. Wayne currently lives with his wife in Guelph, Ontario and works at the University of Guelph Library.
