bioghist: label: Biographical Note
content: Following a career as a chiropractor, Gary Auerbach became a professional photographer in 1991.  Concerned about the long-term permanence of his photographs, Auerbach taught himself the platinum printing process.  From 1992 to 2003, Auerbach made portraits of a number of Native American people, also asking each individual a series of biographical questions.  He published the photographs and short biographies in his book, We Walk in Beauty.
