Chinese New Year parade

Photographers at Chinese New Years parade 5 February 22nd, 2015 — Vancouver’s Chinese New Year parade is usually a great event to photograph but this year there were so many people with cameras along the route my commitment to add another gigabite of images to the world’s collection of dragon pictures faded. So I photographed the photographers. Above they’re checking and comparing shots while waiting for the parade to restart. Below it’s the usual Hail Mary’s with iPhones, or watching the parade on an iPod which is, of course, so much better than the real thing; all combined with the usual climbing of poles or standing on posts.
