About The Photographer

Author

John W. Macdonald is the unofficial photographer of Ottawa’s literary Scene. Although not a writer like Carl Van Vechten, he is still to Ottawa what the former was to the Harlem Renaissance in terms of visual arts. His lenses are indispensable to the archiving of Ottawa’s unfolding scribal history.

“A painter paints the appearance of things, not their objective correctness, in fact he creates new appearances of things.”

– Ernst Ludwig Kirchner
