These are SO awesome! Love the jazz vibe too. You're inspiring me to pull together some of my parade photos. That's my one remaining professional job I still do. I photograph a marching band and so, I get to shoot a lot of parades. These in black and white are wonderful! By the way, first time I used the YouTube experience to watch. I usually watch embedded from Substack, but these I had to experience on the site. Much better!
Immerse in the vibes and get yourself going 😁 if the mood hits ya. Point of interest: This parade is not a typical one with marching in unison. It's a dawdle in place while everyone walks around you to see the hat designs. This all takes place within ten blocks on Fifth Avenue. More details --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_parade
Ditto, I had no knowledge of an Easter Parade, I would describe it as "Hat Day"! These portraits are amazing, well done. I image there is overwhelming color, but in black and white I think the portrait is balanced to the person and what is atop their head versus color leading the eye to the headwear and isolating the two into separate elements.
Cool shots. I was really interested to look through those pictures where you would do a Dutch tilt, while looking up to the skyscrapers behind the subject's hat; really cool effect.
Surprisingly, the hat and heights of the people dictated the angles and perspective absent of me even thinking anything more than "get it before it changes."

Thank you Paul. There's always soooo much color. Those peresened here are from the years I was using b&w only as I was processing to save.
