Edward S. Curtis Exhibit

From talking to someone who works at Honnold Library recently, I learned about the current exhibit of photographs by Edward S. Curtis, an ethnographer and photographer of the American West in the early 20th Century at the library. Since I had to return some books anyway, I thought I'd take a look.

This exhibit is definitely worth the time to explore. The photos show a great deal of detail and expression of the Native American people from across the country. 

I would suggest going during a non-prime study time since students study near these photos and it seems intrusive to try to look at them when you are standing just a few feet away from someone busy with their studies.
