My favourite competitor. by jgoldrup

My favourite competitor.

At the Mawio'mi Halifax International PowWow, elaborate regalia was the norm. But since this guy was the only one in full makeup, he instantly became my fave. And he seemed to be a good dancer too...not that I knew what the criteria were, mind you. Using the magnify button, he seems to be looking right at me.

July 4 update: This gentleman is from the Millbrook First Nation, Nova Scotia. And he goes by 'Danny Boy'. I know this now because he was on the front of the Halifax Metro today. Kate was also on the front, but her photo was much smaller.
Wow! He looks fantastic!

@shutterbugger ~ Thanks Jenn. I think he deserved it. But likely more important to him to have appeared on the front of the Halifax Metro. ;)

Funny that he was the only one dressed up. Good for Danny Boy! If Kate had dressed up like this, her photo would have been bigger.

This is striking! You captured him wonderfully, especially those brilliant colors.

@shutterbugger ~Actually, everyone was dressed up. He was just the only one with full-face makeup. Some other men had makeup on, but not like this in-your-face style. Maybe meant to frighten enemies....?
