Dagmar captures the abandon loneliness and rural decay of Americana in a way that is both fantastic and poignant. Her compositions are windows to a bygone era--perfectly crafted snapshots of the past that refuse to lose their relevance in spite of society's disregard. She gives a soul to the collective memory that is our history. She is not to be overlooked.

With an incomparable eye for composition, and an uncanny sense for that perfect tone, a visit to Dagmar's photostream is always a treat. It seems as though every day she is off on an adventure in her Volvo, accompanied by her American Bulldog (the BEST breed of dog). Even better than viewing her photos, is reading the … Read more

With an incomparable eye for composition, and an uncanny sense for that perfect tone, a visit to Dagmar's photostream is always a treat. It seems as though every day she is off on an adventure in her Volvo, accompanied by her American Bulldog (the BEST breed of dog). Even better than viewing her photos, is reading the information that she has collected about each one. Every photo is a page in a storybook called "Georgia".

You can search far and wide, but I doubt that you will find anyone with the commitment and passion of Dagmar. She is an outstanding historian, and her site serves as an amazing visual documentary. Underneath it all, she is a brilliant photographer with a genuine love of her craft. As a Southerner, I find her work co… Read more

In addtion to being an accomplished photgrapher, her subject matter is very interesting to me. I especially appreciate the historical narratives she adds to many of her photos. Anyone with similar interests will thoughly enjoy this site.

Dagmar's passion for southern history and the smalltown communities throughout the south is evident by merely glancing at her photostream. Her travels, accompanied by her old Volvo station wagon and Milka(her dog), show another side of Georgia that often plays a backseat to the metro Atlanta area. From old signs to b… Read more

Dagmar's passion for southern history and the smalltown communities throughout the south is evident by merely glancing at her photostream. Her travels, accompanied by her old Volvo station wagon and Milka(her dog), show another side of Georgia that often plays a backseat to the metro Atlanta area. From old signs to busted out church windows to abandoned stores, MilkaWay captures the true essence of the south while adding background information to her photos to help educate Flickr viewers. Take the time to look through this photostream and you won't be disappointed.
