Navajo Nation 1950: Traditional Life in Photographs

Set in 1950, the narrative follows Jonathan Wittenberg, a biochemistry and biophysics student who immerses himself in Navajo culture in New Mexico. Armed with a twin-lens reflex camera, he captures the lives of the Navajo people during a largely undocumented era. This work serves as both a historical document and an artistic exploration, showcasing Wittenberg's unique perspective as an untrained photographer while providing insight into a rich cultural heritage.
