Roddy MacInnes has taught photography at the University of Denver since 2000. He holds a Master of Fine Arts in Photography from the University of Colorado at Boulder and a Bachelor of Arts in Photography from Napier University in Edinburgh, Scotland, where he is from. He considers himself an autobiographical photographer and,
in that capacity, has documented his life through photography since 1964. His latest photography project, “The Inevitability of Nina,” was inspired by an album of photographs he discovered at an antique mall in Denver, Colorado. The photographs were taken in 1917 by a North Dakota woman of Finnish descent. Through this project, which uses “prospecting” as a metaphor, he explores the relationship between
photography and interconnection.
