Both sides now
Just working on shots from the calenda in Talcolula last week. Because it is a slow moving event and there is a lot of standing around, drinking in the sights, sounds, smells and ambiance, one has an opportunity to take multiple shots of the same people. And there are always ones who captivate me and you can see why.
A classic shot
Or this beautiful woman.
She manages to look so elegant carrying the canasta. I think it is the placement of her hands and the arch of her arms.
Dare I say it? She makes it look sexy.

Just excellent! I so enjoy your photos of women.
I love the pearl earrings typically worn in Tlacolula and you caught some good ones.

Gracias! As you know, the women of Oaxaca are striking and beautiful. And I think Tlacolula is exceptional in those regards. I love that, at the various stages of life, they change dramatically, yet remain beautiful. The men are not quite as photogenic, but they still have remarkable character in their faces. I think for lots of the younger guys, the haircuts they are into just don't work, but what do I know? I am old gringo.... but still hip. ;-)
Mr. Stowens, I love your photos. I am an artist and I would like to paint the second photo of the younger girl. Do you sell your photos?
Muchas Gracias
Ana
