Fabulous costumes for this festival. What a rich heritage! Beautifully shot James, as usual. Like how sometimes you get a little angle on some of the portraits. Very creative.

Jeremy		08-Nov-2007 02:22
Wonderful gallery. I like your style of photographing such events and capturing the actions of the performers; the composition, the timing of the shot, the colors, the wonderful background blur, and the gaiety of the occasion that you somehow always manage to capture in the images together with the subjects.
