BOOMTOWN 2024 /
Discover the Art of Lines at Boomtown Festival: Micah Mackenzie's Photography Showcase at PennyCup Coffee House
Asheville is a city that thrives on art, creativity, and community—and I’m honored to contribute to that energy during this year's Boomtown Festival. Tomorrow, I’ll be showing a collection of my photography at PennyCup Coffee House, a cozy hub where I’ll be sharing some of my most cherished works from around the world. Each photograph tells a unique story, all connected by one fundamental element: the lines we see in everyday life.
For me, photography is more than capturing moments—it’s about discovering the geometry, patterns, and textures that often go unnoticed. Whether it's the sleek silhouette of an urban skyline, the rugged contours of a mountain range, or the delicate folds of nature, lines are what unite my work. They guide the viewer's eyes, shaping how we interpret the scene and, ultimately, how we connect with the world.
In keeping with my efforts to reduce environmental impact, most of the collection will be available online for viewing and purchase. I’ll be showcasing a few select prints at the event to give you a sense of the work, but you can browse the entire gallery and order prints directly through your phone. This allows you to enjoy the art while helping to minimize waste.

The showing will run from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM on September 6, and I’ll be there to discuss my work, answer questions, and enjoy the company of fellow art lovers. Come experience the lines of the world through my lens—and discover how they shape the way we see.
Finding Beauty in Chaos /
In the tapestry of human history, amidst the threads of conflict and turmoil, there shines a glimmer of hope—a beacon guiding us towards a future of unity and understanding. As we confront the challenges of our time, it's crucial to recognize that we are not merely victims of circumstance but architects of our own destiny. With determination and compassion, we can break free from the chains of the past and forge a path towards lasting change.
Amidst the darkness, signs of progress and resilience emerge. From the streets of war-torn cities to grassroots movements advocating for justice and equality, voices are rising to challenge the status quo. In Syria and Yemen, despite overwhelming odds, ordinary citizens are banding together, rebuilding communities, and fostering solidarity that transcends borders and ethnic divides. In Myanmar, amidst chaos and uncertainty, brave activists continue to speak out against injustice, inspiring us to stand up for what is right and refuse to be silenced in the face of adversity.
Hope must be accompanied by action and a willingness to confront uncomfortable truths. True change begins with a shift in consciousness—a commitment to seeing the world through the eyes of others and recognizing our shared humanity. It's not enough to pay lip service to ideals of love and peace; we must actively work towards creating a world where these values are upheld and celebrated. Let us embrace hope and unity as we confront the challenges of our time, guided by love and compassion, knowing that together, we have the power to shape a future worthy of our shared humanity.
