“…The difference between Saturday Night and a cache of snapshots taken by the guy next to you at the bar is the unapologetic bone McDermott picks with exposed, gritty detail.

Brian McDermott is a faculty member of the Journalism Program at UMass. A Pittsburgh native, he’s been photographing Saturday nights since 2006 from New York City to Missoula, Montana.
