Words and Light

Yesterday while I was photographing the March March parade, two individuals in the parade stood out to me.

The first was Carolyn, who is a professor-adjunct at the University of Missouri.

I’d spotted her while the marches were still parading (or, while the paraders were still marching?), but found her again after everyone was gathered on Ninth Street.

On Ninth Street between the Missouri Theatre and the Missouri United Methodist Church. Guess which one is Carolyn!

Then she turned in the other direction.

Now guess which one is Carolyn.

And then I approached her and asked if I could take a portrait. She happily agreed.

Carolyn, complete with a 'stache!

I think it’s great that so many people came out with their own costumes and just had a great time marching around downtown Columbia.

I’ll blog about the other individual who caught my attention… later. Today I’m traveling with two Columbia Missourian sports reporters and Jeff to Manhattan, Kan., where the men’s basketball team is playing tonight — so it’ll be a busy day!
