Brooklyn: West Indian Day Parade on Eastern Parkway
September 2, 2008
West Indians all know that Carnival is a time to Party. Every Year on Labor Day, West Indians living in New York gather in the thousands on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn to share their unique culture and embrace the similarites that make us one caribbbean people. This year 2008 was no different. What I wittnessed was cultural cummunion like no other. The breathtaking costumes and soca/reggae music, are two of the unique aspects that are are Caribbean centric in nature and can only be found where West Indians are gathered. The folllowing pics were taken by Annand who is a member of the Baiganchoka Team. He told us that he was gettin’ on bad in the middle of the crowed while snapping those pics.

Got something to say?
Nice pics! For somebody who was “gettin on bad” he held the camera quite steady.
I think the camera had a steady shot feature. LOL
Well Ms. Charmaine that just shows how great of a photographer I am, : ) Actually I stopped and tried to get some good shots, but I got swamped in the crowd, getting pushed around all over… never go against the grain, LOL
Check out some of the videos - wherever you see the camera going all over the places that’s when I got pushed around in the crowd, but all in all it was good fun, http://www.baiganchoka.com/videos/video/672/NYC-West-Indian-Day-Parade-11
