« Many of the photos [in Picturing a People: George Johnston, Tlingit Photographer] show events unusual to southern eyes: ferrying a grave fence, by canoe, down the lake to a burial site; children 'playing funeral' during the measles epidemics of the 1940s. But most of the works are less startling, and of happier, more relaxed times showing townsfolk or clan relatives posing in regular work clothes, as if they'd just taken a break from their chores when [George] Johnston happened by. »
