Portraits Of Native Canadians 1

Calgary Stampede 39

Back at the Stampede. There was an area called the Indian Village, where indigenous peoples live during the event. They put on a performance and dance competition that went on for an hour and a half, set in a small grassy amphitheater. I moved around the lawn, taking, well, um, about a thousand shots. Tough light and viewpoint conditions, I swear.

As I started editing, I found that the group pictures I took contained remarkable portraits when I zoomed way in. There will be a second set of these tomorrow.

Note the mix of new and old in the last photo.
