About Me
- Name: Michael Harker
- Location: Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States
The images showcased here represent my philosophy as a citizen of Iowa and as a photographer. I am a documentary photographer whose main goal is to record Iowa’s historically significant architecture from the 1800’s before it disappears forever. My subjects are barns, one-room schools, courthouses, rural churches, banks, and houses from rural areas and small towns. I work in large format black and white utilizing the scientific technique of Ansel Adams’ Zone System to create images of outstanding technical quality. I draw my artistic abilities from my more than thirty year career as a professional photographer. I intend to leave a lasting legacy in the annals of American Photography through my dedication to the people of Iowa - to visually preserve the early citizens’ quality craftsmanship when they built these “cathedrals” of wood and stone. My images are little time machines carrying forward to future generations of Iowans the dedication of their forbearers. People born a century from now will be able to look back in time to what was once glorious and real.
