The Modern Photography of Maynard Parker

As you start in on your Saturday home improvement projects (or not), enjoy this narrated slideshow on the work of Maynard Parker, courtesy of the Huntington Library in San Marino, CA.

Outside of having one of the best botanical gardens you'll ever see, the Huntington is also one of the world's great cultural and research centers. They recently acquired the entire archive of the work of Maynard L. Parker, a Los Angeles-based architectural photographer who captured mid-century suburbia for Sunset, House Beautiful and more.
