Coco McCabe is a photographer in Ipswich, MA. She was a print journalist for many years before joining an international aid organization as a story-gatherer. While writing about communities in Africa, East Asia, and Central America, she started to photograph them as well. Now, McCabe is sticking closer to home with her camera. Glued to its viewfinder, she is working to understand and honor her corner of the world, where the stories are personal. She has also been exploring older photographic approaches, including cyanotype and gum bichromate printing. Her homemade pinhole camera collection now numbers 22.
Among the places McCabe has exhibited are the Panopticon Gallery in Boston, MA; the Rhode Island Center for Photographic Arts in Providence, RI; and the Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester, MA. As a true believer in the importance of local journalism, McCabe also regularly shoots photographs for the weekly newspaper in her town.
