As we get older sometimes we forget how magical life can be. Maybe its because we're not as small as we once were. Things that seemed larger than life are now a disappointingly normal size. Glitter is now messy, not the stuff of dreams. I got the chance last Saturday to photograph the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the Paralyzed Veterans of America march in the Richmond Christmas Parade. I hadn't been in over a decade. Ugggggh it's cold. Who cares about a stupid parade. As we traversed the two mile route, I couldn't help but get caught up in the little smiling faces, the cheering and the holiday attire. Parades can be magical whether you're two or thirty-two. They celebrate the best in us and offer a chance for us all to come together, thousands of faces all lining the sidewalks standing next to one another. I'm getting waaaaaay corny....must be all of the cotton candy I ate that day. Stay tuned to their Facebook page for more pics, but here a few that I also took on the route. Happy Holidays everyone!
