festival: rang barse holi rain dance
Viewpoint of a Photographer
Holi, known as the Festival of Colors, has always been an event I wanted to cover. I recently had the chance to be the sponser photographer at an Austin-based Rang Bare Holi Festival this year.
Joy and Laughter
The one thing I noticed that everyone had in common was a smile and laughter. I even got powder thrown at me, camera in hand (don't worry, I wrapped it in saran wrap and duct tape).
The entertainment
A professional Bollywood dancer and a DJ provided some great musical entertainment at the the festival. There were also a lot of amazing food vendors - one of them had my favorite: chai! And good thing, too, because after an awesome fish taco that turned out to be a little too spicy, the chai helps soothe my taste buds!
