Another notable project, American Always, Scottish Forever, explores the Scottish diaspora in California, capturing the cultural ties and identities within this community. Through his multifaceted career, McLaren has significantly influenced contemporary photography, both through his own imagery and his efforts to curate and disseminate the works of others. His work continues to engage audiences in conversations about culture, identity, and the evolving landscape of urban life.. Very Good+ with no dust jacket .
