Faces in the Dance

Too many photographers! Shooting between heads, sigh.

This is from the 7:30 p.m. Grand Entry at the 2013 Taos Pueblo Pow-wow. My wife says I don’t like to take pictures of people, but that’s not true: it’s just that I’m shy, and the photos have to be candid ones. This means a lot of sneaky pictures with the telephoto lens. Unfortunately, there were scads of guys with telephoto lenses sneaking around. Every year it seems there are more. I tried to act like, “Hey, I’m different!” But next year I’ll probably leave my camera at home.

No, don’t do that. I like the photos and the way you shoot people reminds me of assignments I had when I worked 31 years as a photojournalist.

  Wasn’t fishing for compliments, but that will do. (Thank you!) And realistically, I’m having too much fun not to take the camera, so…
