  • 2006 Shinnecock Pow Wow

    I grew up and still live on Long Island and one of the Joys on the Island is that we get to experience the Shinnecock Pow Wow .. they have a nice set up they built a stage that looks like a drum .. which is neat . They also have been running a Pow Wow for 60 years now. It is a huge festival of dancers, vendors and food. I had a nice time. Friday night they setup but saturday was a washout, talking to one of the vendors, she told me several big tents got blown over and they had to set them up all over again. It is sad that they lost saturday as this is their biggest event all year.

    I love the atmosphere of the Pow Wow.. the one thing that got on my nerves this year though was that some of the people taking pictures were just downright insenstive as hell . I love taking pictures also .. its my calling .. but I feel there is NO Need for a lens that you can see their tonsils with. Nor is there a need for taking pictures during a walk to honor those members who have died .. The natives take it in stride - they are more used to it than I am...

    Despite all the camera bugs up front standing in front of everyone.. I did manage to get some really nice pictures. I used my normal lens .. I just edited them in my editor and blew them up and they are fine .. I am very happy :) .. SO enjoy the colors... and the spectacle .. The dancing is a real thing of beauty. ! xoxoox c xoxoxo

  • Little number 44 is just adorable.

  • What a great pow wow this would be great in a slide show. Thanks for coming by and thanks for being my friend. love to you, Judi

  • AMAZING PICTURES. The colours are fabulous. What a fun festival that would be. Too bad it was washed out on Saturday. That would be such a fun time though. Too bad we don't have anything like that here. I don't think we do anyway. We may up north. We have October Fest here and that's about it. Your pictures are great. Take care.  

  • Lovely. I didn't know they were so colorful.

  • I like your slide slow above. Judi

  • Yes may we always be blessed to write. Judi
