The DC Traveler

Photos by Maxwell MacKenzie - Sky Light

by Jon on December 10th, 2006

A mostly black and white collection of photographs entitles Sky Light by Washington DC resident, Maxwell MacKenzie, is showing at the Fraser Gallery in suburban Bethesda, MD.  

His eye for capturing the beauty of what is now the practically vanished post-depression-era homesteds of the remote prairies of the Midwest is distinctive.

The collection consists of haunting panoramic and almost surreal images of weathered and derilect farm homes, barns and other buildings from places near where the photographer was born, western Minnesota.  With a background in both architecture and photography, his images reveal a piece of lost history of the American farm and farmers.
