A couple of Notes
I walked up and down the route of the parade with my new fun lens.

Let me just tell you it’s much better than standing (or sitting) in the same spot for the whole parade.
It’s also nice to only live 3 blocks from the parade route.

ALSO… having a 70-200 2.8 makes a parade much more enjoyable.

I took a ton… but I’ll just post a couple of them here.
If you think I took a picture of you I can get you a link to the full gallery online.

I took my second camera with the wide/medium zoom but I hardly used it… I suppose it was still useful to make me look semi-important. haha

I also hung out with a friend Gordon who was shooting pictures for the Freedom Festival magazine.

Now for the FUN part… Let me tell you a STORY


Let’s start this off on a patriotic note!


Not as many flags but still as cool.


But don’t worry these kids had flags to spare.


These things were all over the place
… I meant the snapper things.
But yeah kids too!


More kids… some sat, some stood, others… they were more squatters.


And they liked to point at stuff

(more…)

I had the honor of taking pictures for Susan Hartwig.
Her roommate came out to help with the flower and dress and helped me out some on the reflector.
Dawnee Ray came to help out and have the opportunity to take some pictures…
a special thanks to her as some of the pictures come from her.

She looked beautiful and we had a great time.

This is the spot where I first took pictures (bridals and engagements) It had been a long time since I had visited and the first time I have ever seen it so packed with people getting pictures taken. We all behaved ourselves and got to take pictures everywhere we needed, except for the grove, because of a “kind” man who insists that there is a point where center street no longer becomes public property. (Who knows he might be correct)
