Ira said at 5:35 a.m. on May 7, 2008: Remarkable multi-coloured photos. Very interesting. Such different people.
Leftofcenter said at 6:54 a.m. on May 7, 2008: Mary Poppins is back! :) love the "sea" of umbrellas (favorite: the geisha one), it's strange to see these huge French signs in the States (I know I know this is Louisiana) you picked some real colourful characters, I see the PEACE sign!!!

Tunderke said at 9:13 a.m. on May 7, 2008: Pepole so much more different from ur others. I loke this one a little more the pepole has a lot of caracter. The guy with the beads funny, i would ask the question what he did for it? I even like the contrast of the person walking behinde him. Very cool pix. Kiss
Pkeener said at 9:13 a.m. on May 7, 2008: thank you! It is easy to take interesting photos of interesting and colorful people and places. Hey Mike, that guy was a buskar. He was like a mannequin, changing positions slowly. I caught his eyrs and flashed him the peace sign and he changed for me. very fun. Rhonda, she is part of a dance group, which i will post soon. amazing costumes and performance. The umbrellas were an added bonus. It started to rain, and instead of ducking for cover, i wrapped my camera and shot all the umbrellas i could!
Pkeener said at 9:15 a.m. on May 7, 2008: Leftie, FRENCH was everywhere. On the signs and also in the air. Most of the preformers were either from Africa or Quebec. The Festival is a French based arts thing that is held in different cities.
MHCityPlanner said at 9:16 a.m. on May 7, 2008: Love the capture of both the visual and human color of this event.
TavarES said at 9:23 a.m. on May 7, 2008: International festival of colors and also of cultures! An agitation "sea" these traditions! Very good, Pam!
Ebucar said at 9:32 a.m. on May 7, 2008: This is a type of program that I love - it's full of life! As we say in Brazil, here you'll find people of all "tribes". Liked the umbrellas very much.
Appropos said at 10:10 a.m. on May 7, 2008: great collection of umbrellas, colours and the last photo is great for me that really shows the festival environment the crowd and such...
Chaitiamma said at 10:49 a.m. on May 7, 2008: The right festival mood !!!
Hollyridger said at 10:55 a.m. on May 7, 2008: Pam, you must have had such fun taking these shots and it shows in your tabblo. I LOVE it, especially the umbrellas, the faces, the boots, the expressions, not to mention the brilliant colours...... the whole event.
Pkeener said at 11:24 a.m. on May 7, 2008: Noreen, I do have fun taking these. Although, I must say, I was very dismayed to find my IS button was switched off (image stabilization) so, giving the low light and the action combined, a lot of them are a touch soft, but the colros and human interest hopefully make up for it. Maybe a separture from perfectionism is a good thing once in a while.
Tishfish said at 11:39 a.m. on May 7, 2008: WOW very nice Pam, lots of colour ! ! ! !
Debdog said at 11:40 a.m. on May 7, 2008: Pam, LOUISIANA LIVES>>>your shots are proof...such rich images, the colors, the faces...i can feel the humidity from looking at the heavy ski, and hear the music, smell all the yummy smells...these people are tough, and know how to enjoy life. :) GREAT thanks :)

Lifequest22 said at 12:49 p.m. on May 7, 2008: Umbrellas, umbrellas and more Umbrellas. Love them. Beads and a Peace Sign. I bet when the music started playing from that stage the place rocked with all that bright color. .

Abking said at 12:57 a.m. on May 8, 2008: First shots a marvel and I had to scroll back to see the signature "peace" in the jacket. The whole tabblo is really centered and colorful and full of people and I like it.
AliDar said at 1:43 a.m. on May 8, 2008: You always shoot the funkiest people! ... of course I love the umbrellas, but my faves are the: cowboy boots loafers and flip flops, the beautiful smile of the woman in orange and proud funky dude with all the necklaces and flashing the peace sign!
Pkeener said at 9:28 a.m. on May 8, 2008: Hey Jigs, it was actually very pleasant, with the clouds and intermittent rain. Because it can get HOT there, for sure. DAr, thank you. those are MArdi Gras beads and his outfit are the traditional NO mardi gras colors. He was actually very good. , Allan, I was looking at the jacket, and then she strolled into the scene. LUCKY for me.
