It is certainly a nice picture but it needs a longer note I recon. Some explanation for us that do not know what the "Mule Deer Foundation" is.

I feel there is a cause behind all this, Something that makes this picture more important than just a pretty stilleben, tell us about it.

JJ... thanks for the honor...I get a lot of satisfaction from working with the first Americans.

The quality of this image is great. The DOF, color and lighting all very good, but I do wish I could see the entire horse on the blanket.

These articles do represent the crafts and nature of what's important to these people. Their totems, their spirts and their heritage is all in this shot. Perhaps an eagle feather would balance the gauntlets?.. :)

Nice work, JJ. LIghting is warm and inviting. I would just get a little closer so we could read the book title easier, or perhaps have the book open. I like the backdrop of that blanket.

Dear JJ Coyotte, comment-va tu?
Nice picture of belongings of a man I would love to meet.
You could have added for Langaloo too, because you know why.
At last, God thank you, I am landing on the big Iron Bird to Denver, this October.
I saved all of your precious notes and links on powwows and riffle museum stuff, I must say hello to our friend nmess, for his great ghost town pictures.
See you soon I hope
Mytakuye Oyasin!
