Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher – by Timothy Egan

Posted on February 4, 2013

Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher: The Epic Life and Immortal Photographs of Edward Curtis by Timothy Egan My rating: 5 of 5 stars Great book! I was not at all familiar with the work of Edward Curtis, but was very familiar with Timothy Egan’s work as a writer and he does not disappoint. Egan captures the portrait of a man in the early 20th century who happens to luck into photography and begins his career taking studio/portraits in the young city of Seattle. Through several events, he eventually begins traveling to photograph Native American Indian tribes, as well as capturing language, songs, and traditions. There is much that I could say about this book, but it is perhaps one of the best reads…
