Family Man

His headdress and beaded deer skin cape was his fathers.
He danced wearing it in the afternoon session to honor him.
He has his own regalia for the evening dance.
We talked for quite awhile then I asked if I could take a photo.
Between the time it took to bring my camera up he went
from standing by himself to this.
He had waved his daughter over.
I loved it! Some photos just take themselves.


I hope to someday cross paths with this man again.

This is a great portrait of both of them and brings back a lot of memories for me. Late 70's, early 80's I was going out with someone who was half Makah from Neah Bay, WA and I used to go to and even dance in a quite a few pow wows both here and as far away as Truckee, NV. I got to know a lot of the participants and hang out with them a lot and got some great pictures of them. I really need to scan some of those. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, John. ~BV~
