Completely non dog related: Random Post

This is a completely non dog related post (odd, I know!) But I figured some randomness makes for interesting reading.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I love photography. I am trying to learn how to use my camera to its full potential. A slow but fun process.

But one of my favorite things to photograph, in addition to Sophie of course, is Peruvian dances. I am lucky and live in an area of California with a fairly large Peruvian population so I have the opportunity to attend cultural dance shows on a somewhat regular basis. These pictures are from an event a few years back, Festidanza 2008.










The pictures are from two different performances of Marinera Nortena, the quintessential Peruvian dance.

And a video because, I love this performance (these kids are amazing and if I remember correctly her sash and his pin mean they are national champions!)
