Tejarones dancers from Santa Maria Huazolotitlan.
Animalitos from San Pedro Jicayan.
Headress made from rooster feathers and a sonaja.
One of the respected elders.
Dancers that seemed like they were from Lord of the Flies.
They ran through Pinotepa Don Luis uttering only one sound, "bloot, bloot, bloot."
The classic look of a white rebozo and pozahuanco.

magnificent, fascinating, just beautiful, Chris Stowens
Wow-opportunity of a lifetime to have experienced this! Don't you wish you knew the significance of all the little details of the dance costumes? I am fascinated by your beautiful pictures.
Many years ago, I was getting on the shuttle to the airport on my way to Oax to make this Carnaval journey w/the Blum-Wang family. I slipped in my fancy, new espadrilles, turned my ankle and broke my foot stepping off the curb. Wasn't my time to go, but it's on the list to do before I die. So glad you went. You are right. It's the villages.
I am already planning on going back next year. It takes a couple of times to get it right in terms of shooting. Next year, I plan on concentrating on video. So I have a little time to plan and research. It was mind-blowing......
