"Old Timer-Haida" Pastel 11"x17”
"On a trip by ferry to the islands of Haida Gwaii this gentleman was sitting in the lovely light that I enjoy, concentrating on a task. He had such and interesting face and body that I was compelled to try and capture him. Seeing and photographing the ancient totems on the islands I used those images to add an indication of them in the background."
