BIG MOUNTAIN _ NAVAJOS


Jane Benally

     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.

FAVORITE MODELS

I always prefer to work with a few models often rather than a lot of models just once or twice.   From time to time I will post photos of some of my favorite models from over my years of photographing models for my website Album Erotica.    Here you will see Tangent, Kaylee, Joceline, and Brandi.   Each has her own look and style, which determines the way I work with them and the way the photographs look.

Here is one of my beliefs about being a photographer.   Photography is an act of submission.  I submit to my models, when I photograph a landscape - I submit.   When photograph a flower - I submit.   When I make a portrait - I submit.

PHOTOGRAPHY IS AN ACT OF SUBMISSION.
