Anasazi Dreamscape Archival Photography
Nine- hundered years ago in the southwestern deserts of North America,
people lived in fragile harmony with the
sandstone canyon walls, streams and cottonwood trees.
These people we call Anasazi, or "Ancient Ones". They built mud and
stone structures so permanent, they have lasted a millenium. Walking
through these "ruins" one can still see the remains of work- a
well-ground mortero, or play- mud spots on the cave ceiling. But, by
spending hours, or days in one spot, you begin to "remember" and
experience small glimpses of lives so different from our own. The
Anasazi mysteriously disapeared, but their stone walls remain. Their
hand prints, foot prints, pottery pieces still hold their memory. In
thousands of locations, time is eating away at stone walls created by
hands now turned to dust.

The Permanence of a Photograph
This collection of photographs represents my small attempt to keep the
shadows of the Anasazi alive. Each print represents my vision of the
place, and the humans who inhabited that place. With humility and
respect for the people who lived in harmony with nature, I offer these
images.
