To be in the Sierra Tarahumara is to walk back in time, to witness an ancient culture still surviving within an overwhelming and unparalelled landscape, in places bountiful and mothering and in places harsh and now more than ever, threatened by outside forces seeking to exploit people and resources. 

 

Sadly, traditions and old ways are disappearing. It is my hope that these images will convey some impression of this fragile world and possibly help to preserve in time the magic that exists here.  This magic inhabits every soul, every rock, every shadow of this enchanted majestic land.
