New York, San Francisco, maybe Los Angeles ... there''s a handful of cities in which you''d expect to find the greatest collection of 20th century American photography, and Tucson wouldn''t be among them. Nevertheless, there they are, more than 90,000 images - the best of the best - all at the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson.
Gilpin photographed Mrs. Hardbelly and Her Sister (left) in September 1953. The image appears in The Enduring Navaho, but, according to Jessica May from the Amon Carter Museum, the image was incorrectly dated to 1955. Luke Yazzie (right) appears in profile in Pine Springs, Arizona, in 1952. Laura Gilpin's photographic collection is housed at the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, Texas.
