Views From the Reservation, A New Edition

Photography provides me with a visual tool for exploration and interaction. My goal is to be a good ally to others and contribute to a more fair and just future. Improving relations through individual and cultural dialog and education has long been a goal of mine. Mostly I’vechosen to represent my observations about the world in photographic images.Over time, I’ve increasingly utilized other forms of communication interwoven with photographs. Not only do I create my own images, but I help others make their own as well. I have spent much of my life teaching photography in diverse settings. I have taught all age groups, from first graders to nursing-home residents.”
