Carifete - Hyde Park, CHI (Aug 08)

After living in Hyde Park for 7 summers, I finally realized that "Carifete" happens a few blocks away! I spent the day shooting the parade and here are 30 of my favorite photos. 6-8 groups performed in front of the judges booth, where I sat front and center. Jamaica, Belize, Antigua, Haiti, Trinidad, and a few others were doing their thing. I am not sure who won, but Belize had the crowd support, Jamaica got their freak on (I left those photos out), and Haiti had a good time. Enjoy.

Note all photos are copyrighted. Contact me if you plan to use them.

Email me and I can send the link to the other gallery of the plain photos. There are 300 or so that are not on the public part of this site b/c they weren't among the best!
