Christina Patoski's "Front Yard View of the Holidays"

Christina Patoski has been photographing front yard Christmas decoration for 30 years. As I understood from listening to her interview on NPR, the displays that strike her range from the spartan to the large scale "over-the-top" ensembles; yet what draws her to each of these scenes is the visual impact and eloquence, which she adeptly captures in her photography. Click on the thumbnails below to see some of her works, which I have located across the internet. You may wish to check out her book, Merry Christmas America: A Front Yard View of the Holidays.
