I had the privilege to photograph the
Philadelphia Phillies World Series Parade yesterday for my newspaper, the
Courier-Post.
I nailed some killer photographs on the parade route. I had all the turf between 20th and Market and
Philadelphia City Hall. I often became part of the show during the 3 hours prior to the start of the parade as I helped toss beach volleyballs and tennis balls, back into the crowd. I also got cheers, boos and a couple cat calls as people were trying to get me to shoot some shots of them. I ended up shooting 14 gbs of cards and about 900 shots. I still haven't gone through all of my wide angles, but here a some of my favorites:
Hold that trophy proud
Mayor Michael Nutter
I love this one with the
Comcast Center in the background:
As a lifelong Phillies lover, and baseball fan
(MLB), it was an opportunity I would never have passed up. I felt like I was part of history, and I so proud of my team. In one fell swoop, they turned Philadelphians into winners. Thanks Phillies! We're behind you forever!
Best,
Joe & (Bec)
