Pow Wow

2013-05-15T20:03:00.001-07:00

I just want to add that this was an extremely photo-friendly environment, as are most Pow Wows. I went with the idea that I might not be able to use my camera, or feel comfortable in doing so, but that was not the case. I took care not to include pictures of spectators or children, and only posted photos of those who were active participants performing in the Pow Wow.

The Sanctuary Adventist Church is commonly known today as the Kill Bill Wedding Chapel from Quentin Tarantino’s movie — Kill Bill. In the film, the chapel represents the El Paso, Texas Two Pines Wedding Chapel where the Deadly Viper Assassination Team (Vivica Fox, Lucy Liu, Daryl Hannah, Michael Madsen, and David Carradine) attempt to kill The Bride (Uma Thurman). It’s also the church where Father Des Spellacy (played by Robert DeNiro) was banished to in the movie True Confessions.

Ocean’s Twelve

Ocean, if you were to give, a measure, a ferment, a fruit

of your gifts and destructions, into my hand,

I would choose your far-off repose, your contour of steel,

your vigilant spaces of air and darkness,

and the power of your white tongue,

that shatters and overthrows columns,

breaking them down to your proper purity.

From The Wide Ocean (Canto General) by Pablo Neruda
