Landed back in New York after three months on the road throughout Indian country shooting for The First People's Fund. What an amazing summer working for great people, and meeting some of the most hard-working, humble, and community-minded artists I have ever had the honor of knowing. There is so much good work being done across the country—art as a tool for strong community-building—what a beautiful sight/sound to behold!

I spent the weekend photographing Tsimshian artist and First People's Fund Community Spirit Award recipient David Boxley in his community in Metlakatla, Alaska— a 20-minute ride in a pontoon plane from Ketchikan. These images were taken while staying over in Ketchikan.
