It’s great to have a Nonno on the beach!

 

My little friend Anna ( her Nonno is Tom Brancaleone) asked to get on the KAOS boat after their win Sunday. Joe Novello, being a nonno himself, scooped Anna up without a second thought. What Anna wants Anna gets!

Absolutely Adorable!

These children were getting antsy as they waited for the parade to start. Keeping clean in  Fiesta whites isn’t easy when you’re a kid. But, under Tally’s where the balloons were being inflated seemed like a great place to hang out.  They posed briefly for my shot. To them, the balloons were much more fun!

One of the best Fiesta happenings!

On Sunday, I was following the parade, and  as I walked up Chestnut St. with all my camera gear, a woman stopped me and asked “Are you a photographer?” with her Italian accent. “Coma taka picture of my family! Have some lasagna!”  She lead me to her beautiful backyard where her family was feasting on Italian food. The woman (her name was Agatha) introduced me to the group and quickly assembled a photo shoot! Her 4 sisters were there, one just in from Italy and another with health issues. I took several photos as she changed the groupings. They graciously asked me to stay for food, but I promised to email the pictures, and was off to the parade.

I’m so glad Agatha stopped me. Special moments like this…that’s what it’s all about!

One more time!

Tony Testaverde will be 91 in September, but his Fiesta passion overrode common sense, and for a few minutes, he carried St. Peter with pride. Viva Tony!!

2011 Saturday Final Greasy Pole Walk- Portraits From The Pole

This is one of my favorite posts of all time and I owe it all to Peter Black Frontiero who granted GMG access to get on the Greasy Pole and Adam Bolonsky who captured the video footage perfectly for us.

I spent all morning pouring over every second of video footage to take these screen shots.

The pictures show the heart, strength, passion and determination of the warriors who put it all on the line in the quest for Greasy Pole Glory.
