For over 25 years, New Yorker E.A. KAHANE has photographed the
Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade from her third-floor apartment
window on Central Park West at 64th Street. From this special
vantage point, Kahane is able to capture with her camera an
unrestricted view of the parade as it passes by her window . Her bold
and beautiful images document every aspect of the festivities,
including the clowns, Broadway stars, floats, marching bands,
cheerleaders, cheering spectators, and the biggest stars of them
all-the larger-than-life balloons of our favorite characters from TV
and film. Kahane’s joyous photographs are now published in book
form in Come Join the Parade!
She describes the exquisitely designed book as her very own
“Miracle on 64th Street” and a “book for all ages.” Starting on the
Upper W est Side at 77th and Central Park W est, the legendary parade
travels down to 6th Ave and 34thStreet entertaining a televised and
real-time audience for the 2.5-mile journey. Come Join the Parade! Is
Kahane’s singular vision of this beloved annual event,and her
passion and unbridled enthusiasm is revealed with every page turn.
Designed by Yolanda Cuomo and printed by Graphicom in
Verona, Italy, this book of exquisite photographic prints,
featuring a Swiss binding and “gatefold,” contained in a silk
screened shipping box, is sure to become a collectors item.
