i'm bending the rules a bit today. usually the photos i post for 10 on
10 are snippets of an entire day. i set out with that being my intention
for this post and i did take photographs throughout the day, but when
reviewing those photos i realized something. every photograph taken in
the afternoon was trumped by every photo taken in the morning. so, for
this 10 on 10 you get a glimpse into the morning we spent at the
dragon*con parade. trust me, you'll be glad i didn't waste the space on
photos of my mediocre lunch, refreshing beer, exhausted kids lying about in the
afternoon, and my cluttered workspace (because that's what you would've
seen if i had decided not to break the rules a bit). i apologize in
advance for the diptych overload.
i've honestly never been to a better parade. every year this parade is fantastic and it's so much fun to photograph. every year it ends with storm troopers (they seemed quite a bit weaker in number this year or maybe they were a little more spread out. we were at the very end of the parade route, so that seems possible. not the best spot for photographing the parade i learned.) and then the crowd pours out onto peachtree st. behind them. if you can manage, i recommend you make the trek to atlanta next year for this event if you are at all into sci-fi, comic books, costume wearing, or just getting your freak on. good times will be had.
now, for a really good time call (on) carmen over at her beautiful blog and see what's happening in her world!
