Cort club block party on Gerritsen ave, somewhere in between the Sheepshead Bay and Canarsie areas. Mostly Irish-American people + some with Italian or Scandinavian last names.
Veterans flags, lots of beer, clams and grill.
I always choose the Hot Dog over the frozen burger. A dad in a white top got a plate of fresh clams with red sauce over the blue plate.
He probably had a few beers, that really helped me getting a good shot.
On Nostrand ave and Ave D check what time the Memorial day Haitian parade starts. Cop is putting “No Parking” signs up. He tells me 11 and that I will be OK without the press credential as the officers of the 67th pct know me.
A few feet away some are drinking shots and smoking a blunt. “It’s the Memorial day weekend” one of them tells me with a smile.
A car stops. the girls in the back are excited about their new baby sister
Awesome angle on that first shot. Really vibrant stuff with great characters.

Don’t eat hot dogs, they contain nitrates/nitrites. Extremely bad for you.
