![]() It was an overcast day in March and the sun was beginning to set. Though I had been to many festivals and parades in my eight years in Louisiana, this was a distinctly different affair. So much about the scene felt familiar and also surprising. I was drawn in by the generations of people spending the day together, the mix of rural and urban sensibilities-white tank tops, gold chains, tattoos, cowboy hats, studded belts, and western boots. Zydeco music was playing, jambalaya was cooking, riders demonstrated their equestrian skills, and a small crowd placed bets on two men about to race their horses. I took off my helmet and jacket and mingled with the riders. The ride concluded several miles down the road in a large open field. I was immediately aware of the rare opportunity I had been granted, turned my motorcycle around, and began to follow, occasionally pulling ahead to photograph the loose procession of riders. A gentleman I’d later meet, Henry, motioned to me from the end of the procession, encouraging me to join them. People waved, hollered, lifted drinks, and tilted hats, giving themselves to the camera. As they rode by, I retrieved my camera from the saddlebag of my bike and took a few photographs. They commanded the narrow, two-lane road that runs along Bayou Grosse Tete, and I pulled off to the side for them to pass.
