Tournament of Roses 2008 - Float Decorating Day 1

https://pbase.com/xl1ken/tor071

Hopefully this will give you the feel of progression from my day 1 float decorating photos (yesterday).

I will be spending and sharing a full 5 days of shooting the floats, from early decorating to completion and post parade.
These shots are from all 4 public pavilions (Pasadena and Duarte). Take a journey through the fascinating and colorful process of these magnificent floats.

Taken on Sunday December 30, 2007. Floats much more complete with lots of flowers now. More details of actual floats. Tomorrow, Monday (New Years Eve) I will have shots of all of the newly completed floats at the Duarte Pavillion (Home of Raul Rodriguez creations).

All photos drastically downsized from the original but very viewable online. All photos Copyright 2007 Ken Leonard all rights reserved. Feel free to view and share this gallery with your friends and family. Please do not print. Thank you for your understanding.
