After the Party

Once again, this photograph is from my day in Coney Island.  Sorry for the barrage of photos from there- it's just that there were so many interesting things to shoot.  Thousands of people, carnival rides, food, a beach, street performers, sea life... it was kind of an exciting day for me.  AND I was with friends who were encouraging my stopping to take photographs.  So, basically, I took five times more pictures that day than I usually do.  Which means that, a bunch of posts in a row are going to be from Coney Island.  I have a couple more after this one.

Anyways, the content of this shot really intrigued me.  A group of guys were cleaning up after a party on the pier.  They had bags of trash, empty coolers, big beach umbrellas, and a grocery cart full of recyclables.  It just looked so strange to see a brightly coloured grocery cart sitting there, but when I took a closer look at how the sunlight was reflecting off of the water bottles and beer cans, I realized that the sight was actually rather pretty.  I hope you think so too.

If you liked this photograph, I must be perfectly honest... I haven't really posted anything quite like this before.  So I don't have a stellar recommendation for you.  Thus, I shall recommend something random.  The Artist.  It's one of my favourites.  Enjoy!

Mardi Gras

I feel that I must be honest... this post has almost nothing to do with Mardi Gras.  It wasn't taken on Mardi Gras- it wasn't even taken in February.  It was taken in June.  I wasn't at some party, throwing beads, drinking and eating massive amounts of donuts, I was standing on a path in the summer sunshine chillin' out.  This photograph wasn't taken in Paris, or Barcelona, or Venice or New Orleans... it was taken in Loughlin.  So, why were there Mardi Gras coloured streamers hanging from this railing?  Only the powers divine (and the event planner) know.

If you liked this, I'd like to suggest Courtyard.  Once again, it has nothing to do with this post, but it might go along nicely.
