2011 marks the 100th anniversary of the dedication of Lorado Taft's monolithic cement statue, "The Eternal Indian." Better known as the Chief Black Hawk statue. Located in the picturesque Rock River valley, his gaze has been overlooking the Sauk / Fox region of north western Illinois between Oregon and Byron for more than a century.
I wanted to try to capture something of the antique nature of this icon, hence the sepia tone filter.
