Governor's Island Jazz Age Lawn Festival

Earlier this summer I spent a beautiful afternoon at Governor's Island for the annual Jazz Age Lawn Festival. It's a fun-filled festival of music, 20s-inspired clothing, dancing, food, and exploring the adorable island.

There was a parade of hats, where everyone was invited to prance around the dance floor to show off their head pieces.

Loved the old twin reflex camera! I still have one myself, but haven't taken it out in years.

Voon and his parasol. I loved his expression, even if it is a tad blurry...

Don Spiro, fellow dancer and photographer. I can't decide if this photo portrays him as evil or purely adorable. But I love it, just the same.
