You only discover the true significance of the present when it becomes the past.
Each civilization may leave a small vestige of its existence.
This is my perception of the remnants of a past way of life in Western North America and
Central America. These images have been collected over a 40-year period. Sadly much
of what I have captured on film has now vanished.
