I Love A Parade

I purchased a box of books today, some older stuff that happened to be in awful condition. At the bottom of the box were to photo albums. This is not uncommon, I come across old scrapbooks and albums all the time.  Something struck me about this group of photographs; the images were sharp and clear and the composition was fantastic. I would guess that they were taken by a professional, or at least a very promising amateur. I'm still going through the dozens of images, but I wanted to share this small group with you - looks like a beautiful day for a parade.

    Great finds! I work in a used bookstore also, but most of the photos I find are modern ones. I've seen far too many people on toilets and drunken frat shenanigans.

    These are fantastic!

    I agree: They must have been done by a professional.

    Wow!
