NYC: Easter Parade today « Mark Tucker

Link:

I have no images to show, because I live in the past, and I still shoot film. I cannot instantly stream them to you, in real time. Today was intense — the Easter Parade got a little packed for me. There were people everywhere, packed in on Fifth Avenue, around 50th. Everyone and their brother had a camera with them, and most of them were very fancy expensive 35mm DSLRs, which somewhat surprised me. The odd thing is that people were just snapping away, even from a distance. I have no idea what those people were actually going to do with all those photographs once they got them home. Would they process them and actually show them to someone, or was just the act of snapping the actual act? Very hard to tell, but I’d guess the latter.
