A new era

In August, 2004, I started my first blog, Fletcher’s Folly. I posted almost daily, with a new photograph, and with links to political and social comments of the day. In February of last year I decided to take a break from that daily update. Today is the start of a new era, where, again, I will be posting photographs and other stuff, however it will be on an irregular, but steady, basis.

May 25, 2008, was the annual Carnaval parade and festival in San Francisco. I have gone to this event many times, but in the last couple of years through the efforts of my friend, John Lee, I have been able to go with a media pass. This allows me to walk into the parade route, take pictures, and not be hassled. It’s great. That being said, some of the best photo ops are before the parade even starts, in the staging area.

Below are a couple of photos shot before the parade started.

To see more images, go to my Flickr site. I will have more photos from the parade, and after the parade, in subsequent posts.
