It didn't look very Mexican but it was a lot of fun. The Cinco de Mayo festival had a parade for the first time, a come-as-you-are affair for the decidedly eccentric. The impresario was St. Louis artist Sarah Paulsen. She was one of the first people I photographed when I started going around to artists' studios and saying, "Hi, I'm Bob Crowe. Can I take your portrait?" Luckily for my self-esteem she did not give me the heave ho. The portrait turned out pretty well. You can see my photograph of Sarah here.More from Cinco de Mayo tomorrow.
