entertainment at a taiwanse wedding (for all ages?)

I got recruited to shoot a wedding in Taiwan mainly for interfamily

political reasons and got shots they wanted as well as odd things that

interested me. One "odd" thing was the lack of formality compared to a

western wedding and their hired entertainment for the night, show

girls! An above this, the parents felt no guilt in letting their small

children witness all of it. This shot shows the stage during the

performance.

As they say a picture should tell a story...this one certainly does. I like the boys in the background watching the show (or is it you they are watching?) Great shot. I think I would like to see one with the dancer's faces to see if I like that one better.

I think the children's complete disinterest in the lights and girls is well captured here, and effectively highlighted by the young boy pointing at the camera. The smoke and the fact that we can only see the bodies of the ladies adds to my perception that they are worlds apart. I only wish the boy's hand didn't obscure his face. Great photo.
