Tod Powell was an early San Francisco photographer who appears to have worked for the San Francisco Chronicle. He did a series of photographs in Taos and Colorado around 1914-22. The Library of Congress has 4 of his photographs including 3 scenes from the Taos Pueblo and a Ute man in a feather headdress from Colorado.
