You may have already seen a few shots of Vikki in various F4 posts, most notably in excellent Iso's submission to DSS#10. Here are few more from her from our Canyon De Chelly stop.
For the record: light sucked, we were 3 hours late and were in a big hurry, so no technical excellence here. But I still think it was an interesting shoot - not every day you have a chance to photograph a native american girl in such a sacred and beautiful place as CDC.

1. Meet Vikki

2. She's Navajo girl living in Canyon De Chelly

4. And native outfits

5. Horses likes her, too

6. She was kind enough to pose for us next to the ancient Anasazi art

Enjoy!
