About Iguana Photo

Iguana Photo, established in 1992, is a unique affiliation of the talents of Paul Mange Johansen and Max Page. The goal of Iguana Photo is to educate the public -- through photographs, articles and lectures -- about people, places, and events whose history remain relevant today. Friends since childhood, Johansen and Page received Bachelor's degrees from Yale University in 1988, in Biology and History, respectively.
