IF IT WEREN’T RAINING SO MUCH


One of our best annual photo ops got washed out yesterday. The first part is the People’s Parade, where anybody can sign up, dress and display as they will and march down the street in one of our funkiest neighborhoods. The area is also the center of our Latino population and the venue for the Cinco de Mayo festival. It’s a minor event in Mexico, celebrating a victory over French colonial forces, but lots of Americans use it as an excuse to swill tequila in public. St. Louis sure does.

But it rained all afternoon and evening, leaving me without days of material. I’ve been shooting these events for years so I can bring back some old favorites.

Sorry about the rain. We had a fine day yesterday, followed by cold weather and rain today. Nice and funny portrait here.
