Rosemary photographed many children while in the Arctic. Her collection includes many showing children about their regular day, at school, social gatherings and play. There were many more photographs than could be used in this exhibit.

While in the Arctic, Rosemary photographed all aspect of the Inuit culture, not only the print making and scenery, that may have drawn her there initially. She did this because she loved people, and in children she found willing subjects. She had a way of making her subjects relax and her photography brings that out!

When Rosemary and her friend, Barbara Hinds, went to the Arctic in 1960 they were interacting with many Inuit but did not speak the language. Since few of the adults spoke English what these southern women needed was an interpreter. The next photograph is of Sarpinak hunting. This boy became both their guide and intrepreter.
