La Charra
Presented by Photographer Dane Strom
The Story Behind this Photo
Escaramuza cowgirl Jacqueline Gómez rides her horse along the shore of Lake Chapala, Mexico, wearing a style of dress which is typical for the area. “La charrería is a sport that gets everyone’s attention, but few understand it,” she says. The cowboy art has Spanish roots and for some remains a popular sport and way of life in many other areas of Mexico, especially the state of Jalisco.
