Navajo Festival of Art and Culture - not your ordinary roadside attraction

The Museum of Northern Arizona puts on weekend festivals throughout the year showcasing the best Navajo, Hopi and Zuni art and artists. It is pretty remarkable seeing so much fantastic work in one place. The Navajo Festival a few weeks ago was no exception. I took the opportunity to shoot some quick portraits of a few of the artists with some of their work. Some are familiar faces I see each year and others I just met. But it was fun chatting with all of them about their work.
