American Photographer | Born: 1942

From wikipedia.org
Jim Dow (b. 1942, Boston, Massachusetts) is an American photographer who specializes in photographing places, not people.

His exquisitely detailed work is printed from 8x10" negatives and brings the richness of texture and light to the forefront. Dow photographs urban and rural architectural sites--from drive-in fruit stands to Gothic cathedrals. 8x10" negatives provide extraordinary clarity and precision in his prints, either contact prints or 20x24." His newest series is called "American Studies."
