Chinese New Year Parade 2009


Parade volunteer catches a glimpse of the camera while waiting for the parade to start.

As some of you know, I recently have started (in collaboration with some other awesome people) the A500 Photographers club. Our first outing was to the Chinese New Year Parade in San Francisco. This parade is one of the top 10 in the WORLD to see! I took this time to shoot for the event assignment and it was amazing, and fantastic. I think the best part was how excited Val was to be there. If you get a chance you should check out her photos of the parade because they are much better than mine. I'm perfectly comfortable with saying that because I know my strong points are not shooting events. But Val on the other hand was on fire! She was IN the parade shooting, up in everyone's business. So fabulous. I haven't had a lot of time lately to give to the A500 but it is off to such a great start and it's such a great way to make new friends and learn new things. I'll keep you posted for our next trip!
