It being September, that means
it’s Shriner season in Virginia Beach.
I’ve written about the Shriners
several times in the past and even published a book of photographs from their
parades. One, and sometimes two, of their regional conventions are held in
Virginia Beach each September. At the end of the week they put on a parade on
Atlantic Avenue in the oceanfront resort area. I’ve been photographing their
parades long enough to know just about all of their floats and long enough for
a surprising number of the Shriners to recognize and remember me.
This year it was only the
Mid-Atlantic Shrine Association that came to Virginia Beach. So the parade was
a little shorter, which was good because I was unable to stay for the actual
parade. But I was able to wander among them as they assembled in all of their
glitz and flourish before the parade.
