Ladies Traditional Dancer Squamish Nation's BC Day Pow Wow 2004

I've been trying to photograph this kind lady for several years. I

guess the time was right this last British Columbia Day long weekend.

The wait was worth it. Thanks for sharing.

Stolen or with her blessing? :-) Regardless, she looks like a wonderful character! Thank you again, Jim, for sharing this culture with us. I learn and grow by looking at every image you post.

Greetings brother .......... always have an eye on you.

 

And your work ......... (-;

 

First I am drawn to the detail and textures of her costume ........ then I looked at the expression on her face - humble pride - methinks.

Nice to see you photographing again, Jim.

 

Cheers,

Ringo

Love everything about her... her traditional clothes, her hat, her hair, but mostly her expression... great emotion in her eyes.
