The "Native American Portrait Series" was originally commissioned by the EASTMAN KODAK Corporation. The subjects were all performers of the American Indian Dance Theatre(r) . The series was created at the Joyce Theatre in New York City on Wednesday, September 20, 1989. The American Indian Dance Theatre performed that evening to benefit the American Indian College Fund, a network of American Indian universities in the United States. A set of ten original, signed and numbered 16x20 manipulated gelatin-silver prints were donated by the Eastman Kodak Corporation to the American Indian College Fund to be used in find-raising activities and exhibited at the campuses of the American Indian universities.

We are conditioned to judge people by their outward appearance.
I am fascinated by the power of personal style as manifested in the choices people make
and how those choices affect the way in which they are judged and related to in daily life.
Underneath the clothing, makeup, beards and hairstyles we are all the same.
We would not know how to relate someone who was truly naked.
