Someone once asked me what I did not enjoy shooting. I quickly responded “parades”. When they asked why I said, “Because there is all of this chaos and confusion but nothing really going on.” Parades can also be exhausting in so many ways. For the past several years I’ve worked for papers on the 4th of July shooting just about every suburban community of Chicago. This year I was glad for a a little Independence Day reprieve. I sat on my porch with a glass of wine and let the parade go by.
