Another shot of this ladies dance troop practicing pre-parade on Jefferson Avenue in New Orleans, 2011. The girl in the white appeared to be the leader of this De'Tat act, as evidenced by her very serious demeanor.
This "she-devil" was captured taking a rest on Napoleon Av during the build up to the Bacchus parade in 2008. This was my first real experience of one of the big signature parades in New Orleans and, therefore, the first time i had so many revelers in costume.
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
