I want to get one for my husband as a surprise, but I want it to mean something to him.
My husband is Native American. He is a member of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe. One of the most important people in the Tribe is the Deer Dancer. I want his Chuck to have his Tribe's Flag, a picture of the Deer Dancer and "Yaqui Pride".
The problem is, because photographing the ceremonies is now illegal, good pictures of the Deer Dancer are hard to come by. This is what I've found after HOURS of Googling. Note that a lot of them don't show the Deer Dancer's legs or feet, which are also adorned:
Here is the Tribal Flag:
And I want the phrase "Yaqui Pride" (without the quotes).
I really like the second picture, which is just the sillhouette with the sun shining. However, I like the details of the first picture. I know he would rather have something like the first picture.
Do you think it would look ok to have the Flag, and then under that, the man in the first picture under the flag, and Yaqui Pride along the length of the other side? Will the dancer cropped from the photo look...like it's cropped from a photo?
I'm thinking of the black mirror finish, since there are so many colors going on in the flag and the photo. I don't want to have a wrap done, beacause Jeff would have to find a way to get the flag on there, and flowing with the wrap.
ETA: Now I'm wondering if a crop of the figure in the second picture would be better on say, the Hunter Green, with the flag above that.
ARGH!
