These are really nice photos of your parade; they almost give us a sense of being there. I especially enjoyed the informal portraits.
Very good images. I bet you had a lot of fun.

[quote=daldds]School kids participate in this lower income area of NYC. It's a short parade. I chatted with and shot the spectators, then marched with and shot the participants, all in about an hour on this drizzly gray day. Flash was an absolute necessity. I have a couple of dozen decent shots, but the max here is 10.
For me, talking with and shooting the spectators is the enjoyable part when shooting at parades; they rarely refuse to be photographed and usually have strong opinions about something if I can take the time to find it.
Sophie, in the top photo, had a lot to say about the "sinful, disgusting behavior" she sees in Congress on TV. Eddy, in the next photo, does not trust the government at all when it issues health directives. Moses (call me Moishe) hopes his granddaughter will find a better life by getting a good education, but still come back to her roots to watch the parade when she can.
You might notice that the blue-clad drummers are the same drummers who lead the swimmers into the Atlantic ocean in my post about the polar bear club. And yes, that's a real camel, 1 of 3 at the tail end of the parade.[/quot
