olliesteiner Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 M6TTL, 90mm Elmarit-M, Kodak HD-200. "What is Purim?", you ask? Brief summary: Jewish holiday with theme: They tried to kill us.--We survived.--Let's eat! Music, silly costumes, Hamantaschen (traditional triangular pastries) and a little Slivovitz (a gut wrenching plum brandy) to accompany it, are all part of the tradition, along with the reading of the Megillah (Scroll telling history in the time of Queen Esther). In Atlanta we have a Purim Parade each year. This year's parade afforded a photojournalistic bonanza: There were not one, but two costumed pugs!

michael s. Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Excellent job on these, Ollie. The straight horizons and in-focus subjects are proof that these were taken before the Slivovitz was served. The "leave the schlepping to us" truck called to mind two of my own shots, taken from a car window in the NY area. I'm guessing they were taken around the time of a Jewish holiday (but not Purim), so I'm posting them anyway.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordan_w. Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Nice pics Ollie. I was too busy either reading or drinking last night to take pictures. Is there a large Persian-Jewish community in Atlanta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
