Ogimi Ungami 2019
Ungami is a matsuri (festival) held in northern Okinawa on one of the hottest days of the year.
Luckily, some cloud cover and a gang of cooperative gals helped with the photography.
There is plenty of activity at this festival such as prayers, dance and boat races.
It can be frustrating, trying to compose decent photos at a matsuri.
Sometimes hundreds of photographers show up at these cultural events and, ruin the day.
Yesterday was no exception and we sneaked away from the crowds to find these ladies.
They were practicing dances before entering the congested area of the festival.
Prints will be made and brought to the Community Center, I promised.
The highlight of my day at the festival was being part of an audience of two, right here.
We were away from the crowds and got treated like royalty!
