A few pics from this year's Leeds West Indian Carnival, an annual event I will relentlessly promote until I'm not able to anymore! It was a great day, all smiles on the streets, and the troupes, bands, and sound systems bringing it in fine style.
Find more @ https://facebook.com/airadamphotography - I know, proprietary platform and all, but it's one that's easily accessible to most of the people I know want to see!
Looking forward to 2024 🎉

I'm very honoured to have been included in the "Hidden Histories : Black In Manchester" resource by Parise Carmichael-Murphy. It's full of interesting and important historical information and people, and is (not because of me!) an absolutely recommended read 🙂
