..the knowledge and respect for the identiy to really capture their spirit while article, Powerful Portraits of Native Americans Highlight Their Spirit and Cultural Identity [Interview By Jessica Stewart [November 27, 12020] provided at link eloquently describes how he works with his subjects to capture that essense of spirit.
Yet. before I read article [btw thanks for link!] ..it was apparent that the photographer [Varjabedian] had a genuine love for the community, culture. So was not suprised after reading his biography [embedded in article] along with his link to his website..that he expresses his artistic spirit in all that he does.
Really enjoyed post. Just sent to my older son who is a photographer as well. Thank you. Paz.

The people in every one of these pictures, even the cute little girl, have the solemn dignity of a people who have had everything taken from them but still have hope and strength.
These are really good pictures.
