Photo of the Week #151

For the second year in a row I photographed the annual UBS Parade Spectacular in Stamford, Connecticut for its lead sponsor. The parade, always the Sunday before Thanksgiving and a precursor to the famous New York City Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, was a joy to shoot. Crisp fall weather, a festive atmosphere, and giant balloons of my beloved childhood characters. What’s not to love? Here’s one of my favorite photos of the world’s most famous trash-dwelling curmudgeon!

Photo tech specs: Canon 5D Mark III camera, 16-35mm f2.8 lens @ 17mm, f8, 1/640th, ISO 200.
