Media circus, literally.

Every spring, New York is blessed with a bizarre and unusual event: the elephant walk. An awesome sight to those who have never seen it, a heard of elephants decked out in circus garb, parade the streets of Manhattan from Long Island City to Madison Square Garden where the circus performs. Mind you, this happens at about 1am on an average weeknight. Being the official Ringling Bros. photographer, I didn't have to run the streets, dodging other photographers and elephants alike. Instead, I rode on the lead pick-up truck and observed evil glares from the shooters on the ground.
