Mardi Gras - Thibodaux, LA - 2003

Mardi Gras is more than the "flashing for beads" that every network happily broadcasts. A celebration of the day before the 40 days of lent, it lives in every community of southern Louisiana. Since I am not a native, it isn't in my blood, but I have tried to show that it is a community event, safe, fun, and child friendly. My kids Hanne (13) and Ian (11) just love the groping for toys and beads. Welcome and enjoy ! Throw me something Mister !
For the real photographers among you, you will appreciate the "ideal conditions for disaster": 12 noon, hard sun and behind the parade :-)

Hanne	Am I a redneck or what ?	The Queen..	...and the King
Done this many times, Bro..	That float has goodies !	I am getting ready...	Teen queen
I'll throw you something.	That was disappointing..	Thes floats are LOUD !!!	Another Miss...
And another...	And yet another...	More of the same..	More, more,..
Smiling for a looong time !	What's my real face like?	There is always beer.	Can't you see? Throw it in here !
Beads!	Riding the float	A little pose	And throw, throw, throw!
Mini misses 1	Mini misses 2	Feathers	Heavy stuff
Mini misses 3	It's hot to do this all day!	But soooo much fun!	Alright, a few more throws.
Miss Morgan City	another Miss something	Wink!	Yeah Baby

Red neck drive	Another micro misses	Ha, one bag full!	Whoah this one is really heavy

Verrassing dit moois tezien en fier dat mijn zoon dit over de hele wereld kan verspreiden. Gelukkig mijn flinke Hanne en Ian ertussen te vinden.Vind het prachtig kleuren, onderwerp, compositie...Kunstwerk.
