American Indians in Cuba St
Here's something you don't see every day in Cuba St. - these American Indians (perhaps Cherokee if their CD title was anything to go by) drew quite a crowd.

Spirit of New Zealand floated in and tied up at Queen's Wharf, so I figured a quick look was in order. I really need to get away from this 'foreboding' thing, it was actually a perfectly sunny day...

Cuba Street Carnival: Saturday Night
Saturday's main event was the night parade. Before things got started, I took a photo tour around the preparation area, on the hunt for a few unusual compositions. The light was disappearing, so my resolution to shoot the whole thing without a flash took a bit of a beating...
1 - I'm reminded of the subservient chicken, but of course this is a seagull
2 - one of the bodyfx models ready to parade
3 - strike a pose!
4 - somewhere out there... is a very cold bird...
5
6 - the parade got under way, I positioned myself on the pedestrian island on the corner of Cambridge Terrace and Courtney Place. A perfect spot, as it turned out... I tried all sorts of flash + long exposure combinations in a heroic attempt to show mood, movement, and energy...
7 - leading the band...
8 - NZ Army drummers, making a lot of noise...
9 - a little tank

12 - Brazilian dancers previously featured during the afternoon
