MacNeil Bio
Carl MacNeil - Sydney, NS (excerpts from Tidings) -
Motivated by a deep affection for his hometown, MacNeil makes photographs that serve as a visual record for a place that seems suspended in time, but is slowly and inevitably changing.
His peculiar and lonely images of homes, local businesses, parked cars and abandoned objects show his unique perspective on how Cape Bretoner’s live — highlighting an East Coast charm that balances pride and humility with a good sense of humour.
MacNeil is a true roamer who walks the streets of Industrial Cape Breton feeling for a pulse, watching for a surge of life.
