In 2012 I recorded events at the Mardi Gras celebration in Pensacola, Florida. 73 Americans was made by shooting from a truck towing a float at the parade. My camera seemed to elicit everything from obscene gestures to primate like howling screams. The recordings were slowed in editing by a factor of 10. This is the 5 minute festival version of 278 Americans, which is designed for display on a monitor in a gallery setting. 

 I decided to use traditional black and white Imagery for this work as an homage to the great documentary photographers who recorded street events with still cameras before the era of small high definition video cameras.
