A number of years ago I was fortunate enough to cover the Caribana parade held in Toronto every August. It is the largest street parade in North America and garners over 1 million people packing the parade route and upwards of 2 million visitors to the city. Street festival photography, particularly a large street parade photo shoot like the Caribana parade offers is a unique event that has to be experienced to to be believed. The colour, music, moving location, sound trucks and million plus participants is everything a street photographer could ask for.
Lots of beverage and food stands scattered about to take a break from photography during this amazing 8 hour parade. All these shot taken with the Canon 1Ds MK II and Canon 24-70 F2.8 lens.
