“This is a brotherhood. This is the first photograph in the history of photography of these men, with their permission, in their little meeting house. This is their chapel behind them. They believe in extreme penance. They are very secretive, but by working for years with the Pueblo Library, I was able to get acquainted with them and gain their trust and be allowed to photograph within their own building, with their permission.” From Myron Wood interview in Film and Photography on the Front Range. © 2012 Pikes Peak Library District.
