Welcome to Ira Block Photography. This collection of fine photographs, made by National Geographic magazine photographer Ira Block, can be searched, viewed, and licensed for publication or advertising. His work has been featured National Geographic for decades. Ira's photo library includes rare archaeological relics from ancient sites in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, as well as some of the only recorded images of the ritual dances of the Pueblo Indians of the American Southwest. He was honored when the elders of Jemez Pueblo in New Mexico invited him to document the repatriation of the remains of their ancestors. Among his book credits are Back Roads America, Nature's Healing Arts, and Preserving America's Past for the National Geographic's book division. His momentous coffee table book, Saving America's Treasures, was a joint effort between National Geographic and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. To accommodate the demanding shooting schedule and logistical problems presented by the subject matter, Ira crisscrossed the country in one hundred days, shooting over forty-five landmarks, buildings and sites that embody the history of our nation.
