2006-07-31 - Mingo

Yesterday I spent the morning at the annual Childers Festival of Cultures. It was a glorious day with blue skies and bright sunlight - great weather for a festival but very challenging from a photographic point of view.

Pictured here is Mingo Tuala, the lead singer of a Samoan Reggae band I&I Tuala. You might recognise him from this shot, which I took at last year's festival. I had a chance to have a chat with Mingo after he stopped to ask me about the photos I was taking. At his request, I took some extra portraits of him and his band and will be sending them to him shortly...
