"Totem" by Joseph MacKenzie, PA, is a photograph recognizing the peoples of the Northwest coast who still carve great cedar logs into the figures that fill their stories about the beginnings of the world. Mr MacKenzie prints his photographs in his home studio using archival inks and watercolor paper to add depth and richness to the colors. He is a member of The Broadway Gallery in Longview, WA, and participates in other local exhibition events.
