We had a chance to check out the Carnaval in San Francisco's Mission District over Memorial Day weekend in May 2010. The Carnaval is quite an experience - over three hours of people in some very cool costumes from multiple countries and cultures. Photographically it was very tough to shoot since it was sunny and the parade route passed under trees creating a lot of harsh shadows - oh, to have an overcast day! However this gives me another reason to go back there again - bummer!
