Just need to vent by saying this....

How in the gently caress do you elect to participate in a parade and then look like you are being forced to chug five gallons of castor oil, whilst you walk in said parade?

Doesn't this defeat the entire loving point of having a gods damned parade in the first loving place? Hating being in a gods damned loving celebration?

CHRIST!

Now that I am composed, let me try and explain.

Over the course of two years I have photoed some number of parades and depending on what they are for, there is a different mood to them. The one thing they all have in common is celebration. For example, Pride parades feel like a wonderful party, where the participants and spectators get a chance to just "let it all hang out". St. Patrick's Day Parades are all about the participants and the crowd is normally just watching and cheering, with a few random drunks thrown in for flavor.

When I posted that lunatic rant, I had just finished editing and posting my labor day parade pictures. Never in all my years of photographing events have I seen such utter misery in the eyes of the participants. Yes, there were quite a number of happy, bubbly participants and I got one great shot of Joe Biden. On the whole though, most of the attendees have a scowl on their faces. Just flat out hating everything about everything going on. And the crowd, what there was of it, knew it. After Biden did his lap through, people just got up and left. Near the last, let's say ten, entrants in the parade, the sidewalks were almost empty.

In the moment, you don't get a chance to set up a shot or notice the looks on people's faces. It's just a quick bracketing of your shot, snap, GTFO of the way, so as not to get run over or snarl up the parade. Last night I got to go through however many pictures and stare at these faces of utter contempt for life, for hours. I finally got to the point that I just stopped editing them if I couldn't even find ONE person whom looked like they wanted to be there. It cut down the work load quite a bit thankfully, but the damage was done and I needed an outlet.

Well, where else do you go when you need to have a meltdown and just sling bile around?

Thanks for reading.

If you are doing photojournalism you should be capturing the mood. So use those. Not every photo has to be happy.

Relax.
