8
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:24.519
<v Speaker 1>also known as Ea Kahana, and she's got a new

9
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:28.160
<v Speaker 1>book out. It's called Come Join the Parade, and millions

10
00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:30.600
<v Speaker 1>of people from all around the world will be tuned

11
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:34.759
<v Speaker 1>in tomorrow to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. And

12
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:37.520
<v Speaker 1>this is a really big deal. And the thing that's

13
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:40.920
<v Speaker 1>really cool, Elizabeth, you have like the very best vantage

14
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:43.719
<v Speaker 1>point ever to watch this parade right out your window,

15
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:44.560
<v Speaker 1>don't you.

16
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:47.200
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I do, third floor window. You could just reach

17
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:52.159
<v Speaker 2>out and touch those big antic character balloons. There's nothing

18
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:52.479
<v Speaker 2>like it.

19
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:54.920
<v Speaker 1>And so you got like the front row seat, best

20
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:56.240
<v Speaker 1>seat ever. You don't have to be out. It doesn't

21
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:57.799
<v Speaker 1>matter if it's cold, if it's windy, any of that.

22
00:00:57.840 --> 00:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>You get to sit in the comfort of your own home.

23
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:03.759
<v Speaker 1>And you started taking photos of these amazing characters that

24
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.000
<v Speaker 1>come through the parade. How long ago did you start

25
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:07.000
<v Speaker 1>doing this project?

26
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Over twenty five years? And you know, I hadn't planned

27
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:13.519
<v Speaker 2>in making to make a book, but it's just what

28
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:16.400
<v Speaker 2>I do. I'm a photographer. I've got this amazing vantage

29
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:19.959
<v Speaker 2>point unlike a kid during a parade. I love parades.

30
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:22.120
<v Speaker 2>I have parades from all over the world. I've photograph

31
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:27.760
<v Speaker 2>praids in Cuba, in Peru, lots of other places. But

32
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:30.840
<v Speaker 2>then there's a Macy Thanksgiving Day parade. It's a parade

33
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 2>like no other. And there I have my third floor perch,

34
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:36.519
<v Speaker 2>from my third floor window, as I like to say,

35
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:38.799
<v Speaker 2>Miracle on sixty fourth Street.

36
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Nice, very very nice. And the cool thing is this

37
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:45.560
<v Speaker 1>parade is something people look forward to every single year,

38
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:47.840
<v Speaker 1>and there are people that travel a great distance to

39
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:49.799
<v Speaker 1>go to this parade. Again, you don't have to travel

40
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:51.280
<v Speaker 1>at all. It's right there. You wake up and look

41
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:54.760
<v Speaker 1>out the window. But you get to also, through this book,

42
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:58.159
<v Speaker 1>you get to deliver this parade right to my doorstep.

43
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:00.200
<v Speaker 1>And I can flip through the pages and see some

44
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:00.959
<v Speaker 1>really cool things.

45
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:03.439
<v Speaker 2>Can I exactly? And that was really the hope is

46
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:08.280
<v Speaker 2>it's an opportunity to share with the viewer. A more

47
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:12.080
<v Speaker 2>intimate perspective that you're not going to get from the street,

48
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:16.080
<v Speaker 2>and it's from my home. Every single photo in the

49
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.039
<v Speaker 2>book except one is from my rooftop that gives you

50
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:22.039
<v Speaker 2>a sense of location. And then one at the end,

51
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:23.960
<v Speaker 2>I went down to the street while they were having

52
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.280
<v Speaker 2>a snowball fight with confetti. But every single photo is

53
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:30.439
<v Speaker 2>from my third flow window from my home that I

54
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:35.039
<v Speaker 2>want to share with others. And it's over the years,

55
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:38.960
<v Speaker 2>so you get to really enjoy the parade as not

56
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.199
<v Speaker 2>in the sense as it's going by so fast, but

57
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:44.360
<v Speaker 2>you can take your time. You can set down with others,

58
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:48.280
<v Speaker 2>read the dig you nose with your grandchildren or your friends,

59
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:52.680
<v Speaker 2>and enjoy the book as if you're experiencing this intimate

60
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:54.159
<v Speaker 2>parade yourself.

61
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:57.199
<v Speaker 1>And the thing is really you. As I'm looking at

62
00:02:57.199 --> 00:02:58.919
<v Speaker 1>this book right now and again, I'm going to throw

63
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:00.360
<v Speaker 1>a link to make it easy for other people to

64
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:03.199
<v Speaker 1>find it as well as I'm looking at this the images.

65
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:05.840
<v Speaker 1>First of all, you're an amazing photographer, so that I

66
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:09.319
<v Speaker 1>think goes without saying. But your vantage point, it really

67
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:11.840
<v Speaker 1>is the perfect vantage point to get these photos, isn't it.

68
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:15.199
<v Speaker 2>I know, I know it's true. I mean there's one shot.

69
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:17.520
<v Speaker 2>Let me see if like I have the book with me. Oh,

70
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:19.879
<v Speaker 2>here it is. It's page for those who have the book,

71
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:24.159
<v Speaker 2>or we'll get the book one fifty and it's a

72
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:26.919
<v Speaker 2>diary of a wimpy kid is going by and literally

73
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.039
<v Speaker 2>his whole space is just in the window. It's hysterical.

74
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:33.719
<v Speaker 2>But you get to see the wrinkles and the balloons

75
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:36.199
<v Speaker 2>and the patchwork and the stitchings, and you don't really

76
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:37.280
<v Speaker 2>get that from the street.

77
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:39.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you know where these balloons are made,

78
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:41.800
<v Speaker 1>but we live in sue Fall, South Dakota, and a

79
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:44.879
<v Speaker 1>lot of these balloons are made right here in sue Fall,

80
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:45.719
<v Speaker 1>South Dakota.

81
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:48.599
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, let's try it. I have read that, and

82
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:50.159
<v Speaker 2>I may be in one way. Did you know?

83
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Is actually and this year one of the high school

84
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:56.840
<v Speaker 1>marching bands will be from sue Fall, South Dakota as well.

85
00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:59.159
<v Speaker 1>Lincoln High School is going to be there there. They

86
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>were traveling there this whole week, so it was fun

87
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:04.159
<v Speaker 1>to kind of follow their journey as they're heading to

88
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:06.960
<v Speaker 1>New York to be a part of the Macy's Parade

89
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.639
<v Speaker 1>this year. And again in this book, you'll see the

90
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:12.840
<v Speaker 1>images of the things that are really big floating by.

91
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>But another fun part of the parade are all these

92
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:16.399
<v Speaker 1>marching bands they come through as well.

93
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:18.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm glad you told me, because I'm going to

94
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:19.720
<v Speaker 2>look for them and I'm gonna get some good shots

95
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:22.560
<v Speaker 2>to them, all right. People don't know this. Yeah, I'm

96
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:24.959
<v Speaker 2>so glad you told me this. But behind the scenes,

97
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:29.800
<v Speaker 2>there's a judging group with the parade and high schools

98
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:33.360
<v Speaker 2>around the country and I think colleges too. They submit

99
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:35.959
<v Speaker 2>their bands to be chosen for the parade. It's not

100
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:38.480
<v Speaker 2>so easy. It's some stiff competition. It's a really big

101
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:41.240
<v Speaker 2>deal to be chosen, and I understand it. When they

102
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:43.439
<v Speaker 2>do choose you, it's kind of a surprise. They'll show

103
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.040
<v Speaker 2>up at your school and say, guess what, You've been

104
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:48.959
<v Speaker 2>selected to march in the Macy's Parade. And then there's

105
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:54.199
<v Speaker 2>another band, the Macy's American Great American Band, and those

106
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:57.879
<v Speaker 2>are individuals that are chosen around the country each year

107
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:02.560
<v Speaker 2>to march in that particular band. So, yeah, Sue falls All,

108
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:04.680
<v Speaker 2>I got to look for you watching band in the

109
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:05.639
<v Speaker 2>Macy's Parade.

110
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:09.639
<v Speaker 1>Nice. Well, I appreciate you taking your collection. Yeah, very nice.

<v Speaker 1>the parade each and every year and you snap the photos.

115
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:22.399

<v Speaker 1>this book, Come Join the Parade, and again it is

117
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:27.959

118
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.680
<v Speaker 1>sixty eight pages, and you get to see the Macy's

119
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.519

120
