Art Gazing : 11.5.26 - Joshua Dunn : MACHUN

11/12/26

Thursday, November 5, 2026 ( NW, Washington, DC) - Today I went to support a friend and fellow Photographer, Joshua Dunn.

I was introduced to Joshua through a mutual friend, when I was referred to him for some printing services, as he is also a Fine Art Printer, (and a former college Professor) . Once making his acquaintance, we became fast friends, and he ended up printing the work I was sourcing, beautifully I might add. Needless to say he is my go to now!

So once I saw the post that he was showing a series of his Architectural Photography work, entitled MACHUN, I had to go check it out!

Dunn is a large format film photographer, with a significant portion of his work revolving around architecture and its importance to society. Believing that these structures should be appreciated in the present moment, rather than waiting until they are lost, is a big motivation for him. Although we may think of these structures as being permanent, he feels that they too, have a lifespan, and are perishable. As a street photographer, that documents Graffiti and Street Art, I understand the want to get the public at large to appreciate and respect the art in a way that has yet to be seen. Hopefully the work helps to open people’s mind’s eye to a new perspective.

MACHUN - a variant of the latin word maçon, meaning “mason” or “builder”.

The series was on display at Zeke’s Coffee of DC (Uptown location). The photographs celebrate the interiors of some gorgeous, historic buildings in Pennsylvania, New York, Scotland, and Washington, DC.

Congrats again on a successful showing!
