This is my 3rd Mermaid parade, and like everything I do more than once, I try to have a different experience of it the next time around. Over the last year I've grown so much with photography, but none of it will have matter too much when it comes to photographing a parade in the afternoon sun.

Been a while since I had some leisure time to go see a show, so I spent the evening checking out the monthly "1st Thursday of the Month" Burlesque show hosted by New York Pinup Club.
