RAWPXL Issue One

This is the very first issue of RAWPXL (pronounced "raw pixel"), a photo zine produced by Gordon Webster, a New England-based photographer. This first issue focuses on the project "Another New England" that Gordon has been working on since 2022.

For most people, New England is synonymous with picturesque small towns and scenic views of mountains, rivers, and fall foliage. This picture postcard portrayal of New England is amplified in virtually all forms of print and media by these idyllic representations of the region, and it is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful parts of America. But New England also has a history of industry and commerce that was built around its many harbors, rivers, and later, railways.

The photo project presented in this first issue of RAWPXL aims to present a face of New England that is less often seen. It is the face of New England whose character has been shaped by the region's industrial past, the legacy of which is still visible in many of its towns, cities, and landscapes.
