Photographer Mark Parascandola seeks to draw out the elusive harmony in uninhabitable landscapes and abandoned architecture. Last summer he traveled through northern Chile in a jeep 4x4 to photograph desert vistas, industrial ruins, and empty nomad villages. His portfolio also includes work from Spain, Argentina, the southwestern U.S., and Washington DC. He is a member of the Mid City Artists and his work has been featured at the Nevin Kelly Gallery along with other Washington DC area galleries.
