John E. Dowell Jr. Photographic Evolution

John E. Dowell Jr., native Philadelphian and Professor Emeritus at the Tyler School of Art at Temple University, is not just a photographer, but an artist with a camera. Dowell captures both urban and agricultural environments, imbuing them with historic context and poetic content through digital processes of image manipulation. The body of work featured in this book reflects the evolution of Dowell's photographic practice, and investigates themes of spirituality, time and memory, rhythm and movement, and the relationship between the land and the history of our nation.
