Last weekend while I was in New York I went to the Coney Island Mermaid Parade. For the past two years they have said it might be the last Mermaid Parade since Coney Island is going to turn into condos (bleh). I doubt it will really be the end of the parade though even if Coney Island does change.

I went in 2006 and had a fantastic time and took some photos that are still some of my favorites. This year’s Mermaid Parade was fun but significantly more crowded, hotter and sunnier, three things that I quite dislike. Either way though, I tried to get some shots even though we didn’t have the best spot. Here are a few of the shots and the rest can be found here.
