Nearly everyone knows that photographing a float is one of the hardest things to do! It is usually parked in a "float den" 6' away from the next float, or is rolling down the street with lots of people standing in front of it! It is nearly impossible to catch it at any other point, as it is made to be on the move.
Regardless, here is my attempt to post a few photos of some of the favorites I worked on this year. I was the lead painter for Krewe of Muses this year, and hired 7 other painters to grace us with their artistic abilities. I painted "Washington Crossing Orleans Avenue" and "Mitch's Last Supper", dedicated to our outgoing mayor, then pitched in on several more.
The Salvador Dali was one I jumped in to help finish on the last two days before it rolled down the street.
