Above is a picture I took tonight at the Halloween parade, my third night parade of the week. Below was from the Conneaut Lake Parade on Wed. It was a mishap when one twirler got a little too close to another. Fortunately no one was injured. The shot tonight was my favorite picture because I was thinking, oh God, this is like the tenth time I've had to photograph this parade and I am as uninspired as you can get---and then I see how much excitement these kids had and I got a it envious and thought--why am I not excited about it too! I guess I'm a little tired too. As great as it is that I get to take pictures for a living, I guess even I have days I'm not as into it. But thankfully I did see these three kids and was reminded that I should be excited about the life I get to document that is all around me! Meadville Tribune photographs by Richard Sayer
