Big Mountain is not really very big. But it is important. Big Mountain is
on the Western side of the sprawling Navajo Reservation - here in
Northern Arizona. I made these photos in 1978 while working on a series of
photographs to bring attention to a group of traditional Navajo People who
were being forced off their land. We made a book - "Endangered Dine".
Dine is the name the avajo call themselves - it means "The People".

Now after 30 years I have decided to re-introduce the Big Mountain - Navajo
series and wanted to do something different with the presentation.
I have been pondering and experimenting for over a month - and
yesterday came up with this Idea - and after some more experimenting
and some adjustment like it. There will be more tan 20 photos
in the series - and i will exhibit them next month.
