During this period, William J. Lenny and William L. Sawyers opened a photo studio in Purcell, Okla., near the reservations, and photographed American Indians in both their traditional dress and the current fashions of the time.read more at austin360.com

A great piece of film criticism, Thom Andersen’s dazzling cinema-essay Los Angeles Plays Itself looks at his native city’s history as a back drop for the movies, and how it jibes, or more often, doesn’t, with reality. Andersen is a professor at Cal Arts, and he deliveres a lecture in light, using a battery of film clips to back up some original and provocative insights, such as his backhanded praise of Dragnet for its dead-on depiction of how ordinary citizens are condescended to by the LAPD elite. Andersen accomplishes something rare: After seeing this documentary, it’s hard to look at moves the same way again.
