All photographs made with a Polaroid SX-70, in Washington, District of Columbia, on the morning of July 30, 2023.
“EVERY VALLEY SHALL BE EXALTED” is dedicated to those brave and loving people who peaceably assembled for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, on August 28, 1963. This visual celebration is a chapter of GORJUS, a dispatch devoted to art and life in the South, held fast with instant film.
If you liked what you saw and read, if you maybe felt a twang in your belly while you looked it over, then this is for you, and I reckon we would be friends. Consider sending this letter to a pal who is like us. I’m gorjusjxn on Instagram, and you can see an archive of Polaroids at McCartyPolaroids.
