Iowa Photographer Danny Wilcox Frazier Shows Us a Rural Iowa in Decline

1.


"As the economies of rural communities across America fail, abandonment is becoming commonplace. Driftless explores a Midwest that resides in shadows, a people quietly enduring America's new economic reality."

K.M.: The above cinematography deals with out migration from rural Iowa farm country. Note that the Iowa segment is half-way into video. Poignant. Real.

To see and learn more about Danny Wilcox Frazier's work through camera and cinematography, go to his site: Mediastorm "Driftless Stories from Iowa" and see how he portrays to us a bleak and dying picture of small town rural America.

Thank you to valued reader DB for pointing me to this artist.
