This image of Earlene Yazzie one of my Native American friends was taken this past weekend at Monument Valley at a place in the back country called "Big Hogan" I lead a workshop consisting of 27 people per workshop two weeks in a row in Monument Valley. We managed through the gracious donations of my participants to supply them with over 500 lbs. of dog food and they made enough money through the sale of jewelry and the photo events we did to feed their sheep and horses for over two months. I have been shooting pro for years but nothing gives me more satisfaction than helping my Native American friends

Nice photo! Shows the enormity of Hogan. Really proud of your assistance to our native peoples. Would you tell us more of the "Big Hogan" ? What's the story on the ceiling opening?

Sure, a Hogan is a Navajo home. in the center of a Hogan is an opening about 3' square. On the dirt floor is a wood burning stove with a stack that goes through the hole. All Hogan's have a door that faces East so they can wake to the rising sun. Since this is such a large opening with a hole in the center the Native Americans call it "Big Hogan" I hope that helps.
