Parades Part One

Joliet citizens (from Left) Edgar Mecz, Efrain V, and Arturo Garcia celebrate their heritage during the 46th annual Mexican Independence Parade in downtown Joliet on Saturday September 13th, 2008.

I must say, I was rather pleased with the amount assignments I was given last month. I was kept rather busy, which was great. The more work, the better. I feel like I am improving as a photographer, and I have a feeling the Herald feels the same way. In the past few weeks I photographed several parades. This was at the first of said parades. It was a terribly rainy day, but that didn't stop people from coming out, and having a good time. I walked by these three kids, and I knew I had to get their photograph. I personally like how the two flags are on the outside of the frame, and the huge hat with "Viva Mexico" was in the center.
