You were brave to go into the streets if you ask me! And yes if anyone has seen the streets at Mardi Gras it would be very difficult to take any kind of photo! I'm sure you were being bumped left and right.

This is during Mardi Gras. I was able to get a few minutes from work to take the photos so i didn’t get very many. the tradition is to toss change out into the street for the flambeau carriers to pick up so i HAD to do that before i could take any pictures. Because of that action, combined with the unruly crowd and my time constraints, my camera never really got steady. This photo turned out the most blurry but also my favorite. this one expresses to me the energy i was feeling in the two or three minutes i had to make the photos. Rex

I've been looking at this one from the time you posted it trying to think of how it made me feel. It looks like it was possibly taken during Mardi Gras but because of the movement of the camera and all the fire it looks more like a riot and chaos instead of a party. Wait, some parties and riots aren't at all that different are they. :o)

Interesting photo, althought I find it difficult to focus on any one area.
