Opportunity always favors the prepared mind said someone a long time ago. In my case, as usual, I was flying by the seat of my pants at the Puerto Rican Day Parade when I stumbled into a VIP section  on a side street where many of the Puerto Rican dignitaries where preparing to march. The next Journal will be on the parade but since it will be a day or so before I am finished processing images I thought I would give you a peek at an image or two. The images will be different from last year’s coverage. I was a spectator/photographer last time whereas this time I managed to get behind the scenes. I am hoping to use the next Journal to help me get access next year. If you can help please reach out.
