IRISH BLOOD ENGLISH HEART-

Last week while you were sleeping in preparation for a night of drinking green beer I headed down to midtown manhattan with an old Leica 35mm camera to shoot one of the city’s oldest traditions- the St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

Here’s what I learned; the Irish take St. Patrick’s day very seriously, even at 10 in the morning everyone is plastered, Irish people don’t mess with their own kind, and since 90% of the NYPD is made up of Irish-Americans, pretty much anything goes.

These two weren’t plastered. I don’t think.

Their teacher scolded me for taking this one.

They took my business card so I can’t make any wiseass comments.
