Ian MacKaye

Dischord House • Arlington • 2022

I went to the Dischord House in Washington, DC, in 2022 to photograph Ian MacKaye at the source: the home base where decades of DIY hardcore records were archived, pressed and mailed out by hand, long before the internet existed.

Photographing the man behind Minor Threat and Fugazi at that exact address meant stepping back and letting the house itself set the frame. This photo now hangs in the Punk Rock Museum's Washington, DC exhibit.
