Edward Sheriff Curtis- The Announcement:  The simplicity of forms in this photograph is what intrigues me the most- in this case less is more.  It not only intrigues me but also inspires me to strive for a composition like this in my work.  The way the sky and mount are reduced to mere shapes that join together reminds me of the way that the Natives view the sky and the land.  Besides the composition I also admire Curtis's dedication and respect towards the Natives.  He is photographing something the Natives believe to be spiritual/ritual.  Amazing.
