Photography: 50th Village Halloween Parade 10/31/23

Earlier this week, I was in the West Village to cover the 50th Village Halloween Parade. The parade was a much-needed joy bomb when things haven’t been all that great: The amount of good will, friendliness and playfulness was wonderful. I honestly don’t think I’ve laughed that much — or danced that much in several months.

Photos are below.
