From LinkedCulture
This 1931 gelatin silver print by Dorothea Lange puts you directly behind a male dancer at Taos Pueblo, his bare back turned to the camera, a white headdress and dark feathers rising from his head, animal hide wrapped at his waist. Behind him, a procession of dancers stretches across the plaza toward low adobe buildings in the distance. Lange made this photograph before her iconic Depression-era work, and its unconventional angle places the viewer inside the ceremony rather than watching from a safe distance.
