Eagle feather bustle
Imbued by intent of purpose, objects become receptacles of energy containing that very purpose which when worn or held, release that energy out into the world

Nice composition and colors, Norm. I like the feel of this image.Norman P. Banks November 12, 2007
Thanks Steve!I took the original at the Bear Mtn Pow Wow this past August. The dancer was holding out his bustle and consented to the photograph.
A lot of work, imagination and intent go into the making of these regalia. That along with the traditional meaning, has a powerful effect on the individual wearing it as well as the viewer.

Very cool and artistic love the colors and effects. Excellent work my friend. Thanks for the comment I have been spending many hours in the bayous and swamps getting intouch with my guiding spirt. Somedays my spirt is good to me that day it was. #5117916Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
