...no, no it's not. But it is time for Mardi Gras. This is the first year I have yet to make it to a parade...having a newborn kinda makes that difficult. I'm hoping to at least make it to Endymion this weekend. Hopefully I can get some good pics. The LX3's main advantage is its wide-angle lens - great for getting crowd + float shots, and of course its main disadvantage as well - you have to be up close and personal, a difficult task for such a popular parade.
