Bead Toss

Galveston Island, Texas

Photographing a Mardi Gras parade has its hazards.
Beside being jostled by the crowd, avoiding outstretched hands in front of my lens and especially the never ending onslaught of in-coming beads that can damage the camera - or me. :)

Definitely sounds hazardous, but there must be a lot of subject matter to make it worth it.

bead tossing is unusual, although perhaps not for Mardi Gras...the guy's Xmas tree baubles are fun too..

Great shot of these spectators! People seem to go all out for this parade. V.
