Macy's parade

For the first time in my life, I stood in the middle of the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. I first hated going out in the morning chill to do a photo assignment but later came to really enjoy being out there. It was such a great experience. I was fully soaked in New York!

The demonstration of giant inflated balloons has become an annual event since Macy’s employees first organized it in 1927 to mark the Thanksgiving Day in festivity. (NYU/Kwanwoo Jun)
