Macduff Everton (born August 13, 1947) is an American photographer, known for his work with the Maya primarily on the Yucatán Peninsula. == Early life and education == Macduff Everton was born on August 13, 1947 in Pearl River, New York to missionaries. Everton moved with his family to Oregon when he was one year old.〔 He would eventually land in Santa Barbara, California when his father, Clyde, became a pastor at Trinity Episcopal Church. He attended Santa Barbara High School before leaving to explore the world.〔 While hitchhiking on his journey at age 17, he picked up a camera on a Danish street abandoned by an American who didn't want to appear as a tourist; the resulting images were the first he was able to successfully sell in Japan. Everton returned to the United States at 19 years old and landed a job with an educational film company to create college-level archaeological and anthropological filmstrips in Latin America. This led to Everton's introduction to the Maya people in Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula.〔 To support his documentary projects about the Maya and their culture, he took seasonal jobs such as wrangler, muleteer, and white-water rafting river guide. Everton would spend six months at a time in the backcountry, then return to the Yucatán, and finally the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he earned a B.A. in 1981 from the College of Creative Studies and an M.F.A. in 1984 when he was in his mid-30's.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Macduff Everton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
