Really precious photographs of native americans from this amazing photographer!

EDWARD SHERIFF CURTIS was born in Wisconsin in 1868 to parents Ellen and Johnson Curtis. His sister, Eva, was born in 1870 and his brother, Asahel, in 1874. Edward also had an older brother, Ray, born in 1861. After Asahel’s birth the family moved to Cordova, a rural settlement in Le Sueur County, Minnesota, where Johnson Curtis worked as a preacher for United Brethren Church. As a boy Edward often accompanied his father on canoe trips to visit members of the congregation. His experience camping outdoors with his father helped prepare him for the extensive field work he would do later in his career.

As an adolescent Edward constructed his own camera with the help of the then popular manual Wilson’s Photographics. It is also possible that he worked for a photographer in St. Paul for a period of time before his family moved west. Because his father’s health was not good and his older brother Ray had married and moved to Portland, Oregon, Curtis took on much of the responsibility of supporting the family. He worked for a time as a supervisor on the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault St. Marie Railroad.

Some very interesting photos from Eric Scouten.

Based in the Pacific Northwest, Eric travels the country and the world seeking images that capture the beauty of our natural environment. These images are available for sale as fine art prints on this site and in galleries and art shows in the region.

Eric’s photographic work is driven by the combination of multiple passions: a love of the outdoor environment, for artistic and aesthetic expression, and for the technology that makes that expression possible. He has been fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn from nationally-known photographers such as Jim Brandenburg, Art Wolfe, and John Paul Caponigro.

He is an active member of the North American Nature Photographer’s Association and his images have won national recognition for merit from the Professional Photographers of America.
