Chris McCaw spent 10 years documenting his grandparent’s family farm in California’s Central Valley. After the death of his grandfather in 1998, the project turned into a form of sentimental documentation. Using his home made 7”x17” view camera and printing in the platinum/ palladium process, he aimed to memorialize this place with a heavy sense of it’s fragile future.

Currently he’s working the boundaries of analogue photographic mediums with his project titled Sunburn. Both his platinum work and Sunburned work is found in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum, George Eastman House, Victoria and Albert Museum, LACMA, among many others.
