When taking Mardi Gras shots on St. Charles Avenue, I liked to be able to in amongst the crowds to capture the atmosphere of the "bead rush". This is an example, as the crowds swarm a Krewe of Iris float near General Pershing, 2010.
During my time in NOLA, I didn't actually get to see much of Endymion. However, one of the few times I did was when it rolled along its traditional Mid-City route in 2008. These crowds were swarming around the Grand Marshall's float, mainly because Kevin Costner was heading the parade!
