I thought so as well, Tom. These that I’ve shared are a few of my favorites of his photography. The “sepia” toned numbers one, three, and four I find absolutely incredible. As you mention, the lighting and exposure are spot on, and the subjects are represented with such class, I feel.
I’m glad you enjoyed!
Oh, that last photo! They’re all beautiful, but that final one is perfection.
Was catching up on some of my Arizona Highways reading today, and ran across this photo in the Feb issue. The photo is of Michael Kotutwa Johnson, a Hopi farmer. Photo was taken by John Burcham. He’s not wearing any turquoise, but I would bet that the cuff on his left wrist is Hopi.
@TAH, that bolo is amazing. However, for some reason I find the turquoise on the lady’s face a little odd; maybe it’s the shape.
I love this Anthony Lovato bolo. It is described in the copy as a “Pueblo man with a horse song,” and has natural Pilot Mountain turquoise. There were quite a few of these bolos and pendants of his on the Garland’s site (some were corn maidens), all with little squashes of their own.
This ain’t highbrow art… 
. I found this original painting many years ago in a local thrift store. It was standing upright in an aisle. Customers were walking right past it. I stopped in my tracks. Maybe because I knew what it represents: Talavai (Morning Singer, Hopi katsina). It’s painted on board with, most likely, acrylics. It stands about 3’ tall and over 1’ wide including the frame. The price sticker is still on the back - I paid a whopping $3.95 for it. To this day, I still wonder who painted it and why?
These are awesome, Tom, thank you for sharing.

These photos of Arthur Chester were captured by Simeon Schwemberger in 1906. Arthur was Navajo, a head man, and he handled cattle for Chee Dodge. He apparently also had a fine taste in both belts and buckles 
Aaron, I’m intrigued with these photos of Arthur Chester. Where did you find them?
Hey Tom, I’d prefer the ability to say I found them while losing myself in research in the basement of some ancient library…but honesty prevails, Vicki Turbeville found them in the University of New Mexico’s photo archives, and she had shared them on Instagram.
Until discovering Turquoise People, I never saw myself jumping on board with the trend of social media. I’m certainly glad I did, as I’ve come to thoroughly enjoy this community. Since my recent, albeit apprehensive, joining of Instagram, I’ve found it to be quite the resource as well.
Here is another lovely photo that I did not find while perusing dusty bookshelves.
The photo, taken by AC Vroman (1856-1916), dates to 1895 and is of a Navajo blanket maker, Charlie.
I know @TAH honed in on that buckle 
Oh Charlies belt… so dreamy
& I would love to own a squash like that
