REFLECTION: 21st Annual Tribute To Our Ancestors From Saturday, June 12th, 2010 Coney Island, Brooklyn (NYC)

Hey African Family,

I just finished editing a load of pics from the 21st Annual Tribute To Our Ancestors celebration in my own neighborhood of Coney Island, Brooklyn (New York City).

This year was really phenomenal and my second year in a row of actually getting my feet wet (literally) in the water. I was actually in the water with my sneakers on and camera in-hand to get some exciting pictures.

Last year was special because I participated with my good friend Delmar and Zanthony and there's nothing like being in the experience itself.

This year, I was more in the voyeurism (photography) mode though I did experience and was part of a community circle dance at one point on the boardwalk.

So, here we go...
