I'm grateful for the good news, for now. Let's keep our hearts and minds as one to stop the destruction of the life giving earth and stop the dependence on fossil fuels, for future generations. I'm grateful for all those who've been there working since the summer and who'll prolly stay and make sure it's not rerouted. Much respect!
I shot this photo in August of this year.

During the Hilary Clinton speech to Arizonians at Arizona State University on November 2nd, water protector supporters made themselves be heard. Many allies joined in solidarity because they know is an issue that concerns all of humanity.
As native people we are leading the world in learning how to be human again. Stay positive and prayerful.

The sacred circle is the basis for all existence. Energy constantly repeats itself, from the cosmos all the way down to the inter workings of all life on earth––when we obsreve that we’re constantly reminded that everything is interconnected in some way or another. Indigenous peoples have always known this, that’s why our ceremonies, songs, dances, designs, are all in a circle; it’s an expression of the deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of all life. Understanding this again will reconnect us all to be human again and to treat one another and all life equally.
This is my first photo of a series of Astro Photos I’ll be doing of sacred locations around central Arizona. This one is of ‘Svegi Do’ag’ (Aka red mt). When I shot these I wasn’t sure where the ‘celestial axis point’ was going to be, but to my surprise it was almost directly above ‘Svegi Do’ag’! The vantage point from where I shot this was a unique cliff that projects outward from the rest of the ridge; it’s in an area where the ancient ‘Hohokam’ lived thousands of years ago and I wonder if it might have been a place of spiritual reverence.
‘Moa Do’ag’ (south mt) is on deck for this series.
One of these photos from this series will also be a part of the ‘Confluence Exhibition’ I’ll be a part of at ‘The Heard Museum’ Feb 2016.

Last week I had the pleasure of doing photography for Kwi Awt Stelmexw, a non-profit created to preserve the Squamish language in BC, Canada––they're doing some innovative programs surround language preservation. Follow their journey If you live in the area and are interested in supporting their efforts.
They're one of the many indigenous nations who live in what is now called 'Vancouver', these are just a few landscape photos of their territory; it's a beautiful place with lots of power.

Every scene captured is also a self-portrait of the capturer--boundless shades of black and white, textures and earth.

Some of the photos are 35mm photos from the late 90's and the rest are digital photos. As time continues to move in a circle, more captures of moments will be added to this digital space.
