Manning, James, 1781-1866

James Manning is from Cape Dorset, Northwest Territories, Canada. Manning spends his leisure time enjoying activities in the same environment he captures on film. "I started taking pictures in the late 1960s. I became so interested because my grandfather, Peter Pitseolak, was also a photographer. I like to travel and see the beauty of the land, the sun, the animals ... I try to capture what I see. Portraiture is very important for the future ... No one else in our community is a full time photographer."
