A noble gentleman
This gentleman was part of the Native American pow-wow that I attended in Taos, New Mexico. We arrived early and I was lucky to get a good spot to shoot from, because once their Grand Entrance began it was suddenly elbow-to-elbow. There must have been 200 folks dressed in their tribal gear and it was quite a sight. I highly recommend going to events like this. It's obviously a great opportunity for photography but more importantly I think it is great to learn about the culture and experience it. I am not one for the typical portrait shots - for some reason I haven't caught that bug yet. But I certainly make exceptions when it comes to events like this!
