I recently had the pleasure of continuing my work on the Pine Ridge Reservation in Southwestern, South Dakota for the New York Times. Despite the poverty on the reservation I am continually surprised by how welcoming the people I have met have been. Special thanks to the folks at the New York Times and my friend Troy Harvey, who helped out with the video. For a larger edit of photographs please check out my site.

The Oglala Sioux Tribe, like many tribes in America, are facing a crisis.

In their own words, the individuals of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation explain the deep impact that years of governmental neglect and public awareness has brought to their land.
The Film will make its debut at the Ojai Film Festival Nov. 6th and 7th. For more information please contact me. Thanks in Advance...
