Do Dah '06

Seefutlung · December 1, 2006

The Do Dah is a spoof on the Rose Parade, held every year in Pasadena, California. This year I shot the parade differently. Instead of covering the parade like a journalist ... walking the parade ... getting shots from set-up to break-down ... I (and a few photogs from LAShooters) set up chairs at the turn, (there's only one turn), and I went for faces of people who came to me as opposed to me finding them.

As stated before, this is not a Do Dah Parade story but about people of the parade, participants and spectators ... all those around my little corner ... which I guess is still a story nonetheless. -G-

Wow, impressive shots!

I love how most of them are tight and in close to the subjects-it feels like I'm there so to speak. Very photojournalistic too-capturing the moment! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Kingmamaof2. I went armed with the Bigma ... and I let the zoom do the walking.
