James Butler, a musician, was introduced to by a fellow director, Paul Stone, as a perfect addition to the series. James plays all around the city, but primarily in the SoHo area. Trained as a fine artists, James made reference to how the neck of a guitar was like a #2 pencil, each tools he feels comfortable creating with. James has only been playing guitar for 3 years now, and recently taken his talent out to the streets of NYC. If you see him be sure to say hi, “Be Kind It comes back to You…I Promise” -James Butler

Native To This Land, is a still portrait series i started about 10+ years ago.  Over the years i have traveled to a handful of Pow Wows, set up a studio on the outskirts, and produced portrait of the dancers in their regalia.  Over the years i have created a portfolio of over 75 portraits.  I have exhibited the series in Maryland, Maine and New York City.
This is the first time i have shot motion for the series, and feel that i will be adding this into the continuation of the project.
