So I had the chance to shoot the St Patrick’s Day Parade in Yonkers today. There’s something interesting about the spectacle and anachronistic nature of the whole thing. People gathering along a busy road to watch marching bands and groups walk down the street. Larger scale ones with balloons and floats. It’s interesting when put into modern perspective, most of us can’t walk down the street without taking our eyes off our phones, our own personal escapes. Then here we are doing this big collective thing. I’m not hitting the nail on the head with this, but I think it would be an interesting project to go to other “small”(read not manhattan) towns and shoot their parades in a similar fashion.
