Indy 500 Festival Parade 2013 Photos, Part 5 of 5: Balloons and Floats for the Win

Previously on Midlife Crisis Crossover: The next five entries (to be posted over Memorial Day Weekend as quickly as time and endurance permit) represent a fraction of the pics my wife and I snapped. In many cases, encores and additional takes of specific subjects may be available if anyone out there is interested in seeing more, or is looking for a loved one who was in one of the many marching bands that day. For first-time MCC visitors, please note my wife and I are relative amateurs, obviously not trained professional photographers, sharing these from a hobbyist standpoint because of fun Internet joyfulness. The grand finale: giant inflatables and dioramas! First in line is my personal favorite of the bunch -- Super Grover! […]

Indy 500 Festival Parade 2013 Photos, Part 4 of 5: a Salute to the Marching Bands

Previously on Midlife Crisis Crossover: The next five entries (to be posted over Memorial Day Weekend as quickly as time and endurance permit) represent a fraction of the pics my wife and I snapped. In many cases, encores and additional takes of specific subjects may be available if anyone out there is interested in seeing more, or is looking for a loved one who was in one of the many marching bands that day. For first-time MCC visitors, please note my wife and I are relative amateurs, obviously not trained professional photographers, sharing these from a hobbyist standpoint because of fun Internet joyfulness. No parade is complete without marching bands. It's right there in the parade regulation handbook: you must invite at least three different marching bands or else your parade will be subject to ridicule and foodstuffs hurled at you overhand. If anyone out there in Internetland is interested in seeing additional photos of any of these bands, we took extras of a few of them. Just say the word and MCC will be happy to oblige with additional uploading and sharing and such. It's all part of the service. First in line: the Purdue University All-American Marching Band. Look closely for impressive baton-tossing action. […]

In this installment, we feature a selection of special-interest groups who marched through downtown Indianapolis on May 25, 2013, in the name of their respective organizations for the sake of parade-based goodness. When Han Solo and Princess Leia Organa rolled by on a float of their own, longtime readers can imagine this writer's response. At last, a parade attraction that really speaks to me! […]

Indy 500 Festival Parade 2013 Photos, Part 2 of 5: Some of Your Qualifying Drivers

In many cases, encores and additional takes of specific subjects may be available if anyone out there is interested in seeing more, or is looking for a loved one who was in one of the many marching bands that day. For first-time MCC visitors, please note my wife and I are relative amateurs, obviously not trained professional photographers, sharing these from a hobbyist standpoint because of fun Internet joyfulness. Per parade tradition, the thirty-three drivers who qualified to race in that year's Indy 500 also participate in the 500 Festival Parade. One driver, Charlie Kimball, bowed out due to illness. We captured over one-third of the other thirty-two. Last year's winner, Dario Franchitti, starts this year in the middle of Row 6. […]
