This is a beautiful short film about Edward Curtis, who spent 30 years documenting the last of the native North American Indians.

Well worth a peek.

Thanks, one of my favourite photographers, a master of negative space, vast skies, and yet gets away with it. The picture at 02:15 "Canyon de Chelley" is a very good example.

Wow! Never heard of Curtis before. Great work, 30 years on a project! Incredible. Some of those portraits struck me as so modern, if that makes sense.
