Our Rez dog.


Eli and I have been having a great time on the Navajo Reservation in Arizona. I am shooting a children's book here and Eli is making friends with all sorts of creatures. The puppy at the house where we are staying, Reena, is a special friend. She has run the mesa with Eli most every evening as they race and zig zag up the dusty trail to the rock formations (now known as Eli's rocks). We will never forget her or the amazing hosts and friends we have met here! An ode to dogs and friends all over our world!

  2. I'm so glad you've made your way back to the Navajo Nation. I think the images you captured the last time I knew you were there were so magical and can't wait to see another round. Strangely I do miss driving through Navajo country every once in awhile. I'm glad you found a friendly rez dog! There were several I encountered as a reporter out there that weren't friendly at all.

  3. A match made in heaven: Jan and remnants of Navajo history. I hope this trip brings good things to you and serves as a thread into other adventures.

  5. Hello a friend of mine who follows your blog introduced me to your site and said you were into cell phone photography. I'm part of a group that is putting on a show that consists exclusively of cell phone pics. All proceeds go to benefit a school for autism. The deadline has passed but we aren't making final selections until tomorrow so please email me at littlezgroup@gmail.com if you'd like to be considered.

  6. I love these minimalist images with strong tonal range and contrast. They tell the basic story and leave the rest to the imagination. The viewer doesn't tire of seeing the image when it is in view a lot... like on a wall, where this should be.

    Peace
