Edward Sheriff Curtis- Four Horns:  I also relate to this image because portraiture of this nature and quality is one of my goals.  Curtis put his WHOLE life into creating portraits and landscapes of Natives across the country.  I admire these portraits- this one especially- becuase the effort to make this image is more complex then just his shooting and plate developing techniques.  The real difficult part of this portrait is gaining Four Horns respect, trust, and faith- which Curtis achieved with probably all the Natives he photographed.
