Argentina delegation at the 2017 Folkmoot USA International Festival Parade in downtown Waynesville, NC
Here is a sampling of my photos from the 2017 Folkmoot Festival Parade of Nations in Waynesville, NC. My success rate was compromised a bit by a less than ideal location (about 20 yards from the main performance area) and less-than-ideal lighting conditions, but I managed to get a few photos that tell the story. After seeing the parade for the first time, I’m now determined to go back and capture the festivities from before the parade to after. I think it might make a good project and would be good practice at telling a story.

Another wonderful series, Tom. I’m impressed with the vibrancy of colors in these images. They all pop. I agree this needs to be an ongoing project, possibly a yearly project with no end.
Thank you, Monte. In addition to the great colors, I’m impressed by the look of joy and happiness on the faces. I was lucky to capture just a bit of it, but it’s a tangible counterpoint to a lot of what we see these days. I’m looking forward to a time when I can do more of these projects.
Wonderful! We need good stories well told! Wish I had known of this event!
Don, we’ve been out of touch for way too long! We’re headed out on our next adventure this weekend but will catch up in September when we return.
