The Navajo Indian Tribe believe that if you take a picture of them then you have taken their soul. They are not alone in this believe as evidence by this picture.

The Roman Soldier in this picture was part of the Juan de Dios Celebration in March. But look behind him and see a member of the Soul Capturer Gang. She believes she can capture someone’s soul with a picture. In the past she has taken the soul of a Sorcerer, a Clown, a Lady from the Red/Purple Hat Gang and Hillary Clinton. They are now part of who she is. And now she wants the soul of a Roman Soldier. Perhaps she wants his helmet or cute skirt or knee high socks.

Look in the Jardin, soon to see what part of his soul she took.

Gracias to Jenny Formanek for the picture.  Hillary was still a candidate at the time this picture was taken.

Sitting in the Jardin with a canvas, easel and paints opens you to inspection and judgment.  But carrying a huge camera where the picture is locked inside gives you the appearance of an artist without the judgment.  Find a tripod and you have found this gang.  These photographers are posed in front of the San Juan de Dios procession on March 9 oblivious to feelings of the people attending the event. The first picture is courtesy of Marjorie Maynes of Des Moines. She took it as part of her composition course in Photography.

This group of photographers had some fun with the procession route.  They stood right in front of the procession, only moving at the last moment.  Jesus looked really nervous.

Once that fun was over they moved to the Jardin to further intrude into people’s lives.

Finally they left the Jardin to find more “local” pictures to take.

Photographers lurk everywhere looking for that “Special Photo”.

Diane Arbus.. despair.

These photographers seem unable to understand how the taking of their “interesting” little pictures shows a complete disregard for the feelings and integrity of the photographed.
