Creating a Different Point of View

I attended the Grass Roots Music and Dance Festival near Ithaca, N.Y. recently and because there were so many photographers taking the same record shots of the musicians and colorful characters in the audience that I decided that I wanted to shoot something completely different.  During the “Happiness Parade” I moved in close and concentrated just on hands and the colorful costumes.  This was a rewarding experience and will make great mementos for me.
