More PowWow Photos.

I thought I would share a few of the "normal" PowWow photos I took this past Friday. I prefer the impressionistic looking ones but these show what was going on there in realistic way.

I liked the impressionistic ones, as they give a good indication of the vibrancy and motion of the event, but I like these ones also. I think I especially like the first few, because of how crisp the dancers look against the more out of focus audience members in the background.

It was low light situation due the the sun going down...why I switched over to the impressionistic style. I love the impressionistic style because it captures the "spirit" of the dancing...the "touching the past and still happening today" feeling.

I love going to PowWows because there is just this feeling about them that is hard to describe. Like you are witnessing a bit of the ancient times in the present despite all the talking on microphone, modern touches to regalia costuming, and competition for money when dancing.
