RIDING IN STYLE

Fort Worth, TX

I was shooting the first half of a Quincenera (Hispanic celebration when a girl turns 15) and was heading home until the 2nd half. I saw this young lady celebrating her Quincenera as well and the horse and buggy was taking her to the Church down the street.

So, I stopped, rolled down the window and hollered "Smile" and they all looked over at me. She did smile! :) Now, going out to shoot the "Quincenera Ball" about an hour away. I'll catch up on comments late tonight or in the morning.

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi
1/200s f/9.0 at 22.0mm iso100 full exif

Glad to see she is riding in a more tradidtional vehicle for this celebration, instead of
a huge tired 4 wheel drive monster. You seem to ALWAYS be in the right place at the right time

Beautiful elegance, nicely captured as a candid. Well done, Cindi.

These "traditions" seem so much better than what shows up on TV shows these days. Nicely done.

Oh, but course, is there any way to go?

Nice shot Cindi.... convert this to B&W, remove the powerlines and it could easily take you back to a simpler time. Jv
