Tid Bits
     The pictures in here started out several years ago when someone asked me "Can you show me what Kahnawake looks like"  So I put some pictures I had up on my server which at the time was at UMass.
     I put the pictures up for people to see, added tons of information.  Realizing a few weeks and tons of email later, people wanted to see more pictures.
    Ever since, I have been taking pictures of Kahnawake on occasion only for my website.  When I get a rush of energy to take new pictures I borrow my dads camera, buy some BW film and go on a photo spree.  All of which is not cheap.

Reasoning
     There is also a reason why I take sometimes random pictures of things.  Why I take pictures at the pow-wow and may never put a picture of any more dancers.
     Why?  I'm tired of seeing people sucked into believing Iroquois people wear head dresses and buck skins.  I want the world to know that after the shows are over, people wear Nike shoes denim jeans and drive cars.
     I want people to know that 99.2% of the year people dont even dress traditional.  That, half the time its a damn show for the tourists. 
     Why, because as all humans on planet earth we are evolving as a people.  We are every changing beings and have not remained static people.  We have come along way in our history and we are still moving. 

Future
      The future of this section remains a mystery to me.  I really dont want to remove the older pictures.  But memory, webspace and money all have there factors.  So pieces of my site may one of these days be removed and replaced with new pictures.
      The content will always remain something I have final say about.  It will get every bit more interesting I hope for people to see and enjoy.  As I am always conjuring up new and exciting ideas for pictures to add.  All, I need is the time and webspace to do it.
      Though the future of my site for the near future seems stable.  What lies ahead who knows?  Maybe it will die like the other sites I've seen die over the last 8 years.  Silently deleted for another to take over....
