CLEVELAND, OH — Each year the Cleveland Art Museum sponsors a celebration of performing art called Parade the Circle. Performers start at the museum and parade around University Circle. This years event was a feast for the photographic eye and I have added some of my favorite performers here for your viewing pleasure. (Click on SLIDESHOW in the upper right of the page for easiest viewing.)

When shooting parades, I like to get down low and shoot up at the performers, or get a high vantage point and shoot down. I noticed the official Cleveland Art Museum photographer brought out a 10′ foot step ladder and got all his shots from this comfortable “above-the-crowd” perch.
