Cinco De Mayo Parade 2010 – San Jose Photography

May 5th, 2010

We had a chance to enjoy the wonderful celebrations during the Cinco De Mayo parade in San Jose earlier in May. It was filled with colors, low riders and our favorites, the horse and solider. According to wikipedia:

Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for “fifth of May”) is a holiday held on May 5 that commemorates the Mexican army’s unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín. It is celebrated primarily in the state of Puebla and in the United States.

It was awesome to shoot this event as we had full access to run around and shoot the spectators. Enjoy the pictures and let us know if there are other events to shoot around the bay!

Yahoo!’s Holi Festival of Colors 2010 | Event Photography

March 23rd, 2010

It has been a while since we posted, but we missed you guys!

We are back into blogging our events. This last week at Yahoo! we celebrated Holi – The Festival of Colors. It was the first time we attended something like this, but we saw a glimpse of this festival from the movie called Outsourced that we watched on Netflix . (fun movie to watch for the some slight India culture reference)

Granted, we were super excited to see all the color powder fly and participants literally covered with color splashes! Wow!

Next time, we want to get in on the fun, (although our camera would not be too happy to hear that.)

Have a glimpse at some of the action from the event.

You have been warned! (notice the little specs of purple on the left hand side)
