As a devoted Giants fan I
would have loved to go to the Super Bowl
and watch them win that exciting game
against the New England Patriots.
But
the next best thing (almost) was going to New York’s Canyon of Heroes
to
photograph the Super Bowl Champion Giants parade down.
While I was expecting a
heavy crowd, I still under estimated the density of
people that would show up
to the parade. It was like a huge New
York
happening with everyone smiling and cheering. Even the players were
awestruck by the number
of people and the reaction they got.
The
happiness was contagious.
Perched in a fourth floor
window overlooking Broadway with a clear view of the
floats, players and people
cheering I snapped picture after picture.
My telephoto lens not only let me capture the expressions on the
player’s faces
but also the excitement displayed by the fans in office windows
and standing
along Broadway.
It was exciting seeing Eli Manning holding the trophy on a float with
Governor Cuomo and Mayor Bloomberg and all the other players,
but ultimately it was the fans with their gleeful expressions that made
it a photographer’s dream.
