For the past fifty years, Lee Marmon has used the magic and power of his camera lens to immortalize the noble spirit and enduring legacy of his elder tribes people in his native Laguna, New Mexico. The passing of time has turned his prolific collection of rare and high quality photographs – both portraits and landscapes - into a breathtaking album of images that he proudly calls, “Visions of My People.”

Lee Marmon was born into circumstances that made him uniquely positioned among beings to create this great historical tapestry. The accumulated volumes of his life’s work – thousands of photographs from a bygone chapter in our nation’s cultural history - comprise a priceless gift to America. They are the product of the rare confluence of Lee’s ethnic identity, generational positioning, artistic talent, technological vision, and his own cultural awareness.
