LargeUp has been documenting the West Indian American Day Carnival for years, and yesterday’s edition was no different. This year, Brooklyn-based photographer Eddie Pearson set out to Eastern Parkway—along with a few million fellow revelers. We’ll be showcasing some up-close-and-personal street style snaps Eddie took on the road shortly but, in the meantime, here’s a few favorites from the big parade.
