Earth Day Parade-2007
The Earth Day Parade–featuring species from four animal groups-Air, Sun, Land and Water–once again took over downtown Traverse City. This event is always fun to shoot, but particularly this year because the weather was perfect and the crowds were out in large numbers. Image 1: Seamus Callahan marches in the air section as a raven. (UPDATE: Seamus was a hummingbird, not a raven. Thank you, Penny.)
Image 2: Leading off the parade was a drove of pigs escaping the factory farm and tossing methane gas bombs.
Image 3: The lead pig, Penny Krebiehl of the Little Artshram, coordinates with the police escort prior to the beginning of the parade. |
Gary—-Thank you for being a wonderful photog and for being at the Eday parade! Seamus Callaghan was a hummingbird, not a raven. He arrived at one of our first workshops with photos, books and did several accurate sketches then colored them in, all before beginning to build his headgear!
Thanks again—-the pig-pig shot is very funny—-~P. Krebiehl
