One of the dangers of photographing Mardi Gras parades from close quarters is that some of the drink fueled riders *will* try to throw beads right at the lens of the camera. Not so much with this guy, though, i think i may have just caught this one right. Druids, 2008
A bloke in drag on Bourbon Street is not great surprise, even less so during Mardi Gras. This fella, on stilts no less, was seen in the Shangri La parade in the French Quarter, 2008.
Drew Brees, the Saints star Quarterback and Super Bowl MVP was nailed to be Grand Marshall of Bacchus in 2010, only weeks after the historic triumph, and sure enough, here he was on St Charles Avenue.
