http://www.dassiaposner.com/home/First_Night_Photos.html Photographs from the Grand Procession on New Year’s Eve in downtown Boston. I have worked with the Puppeteers’ Cooperative and Back Alley Puppet Theater every year on this event since 1995. For several years, I co-taught community puppet workshops with Sara Peattie, and have worked the parade every year, performing a variety of functions: building puppets, mentoring parade captains, developing choreography, working with community groups and taking the parade photos you see below. http://www.dassiaposner.com/home/First_Night_Photos.html#0 8687e4f2-b67d-4684-bfbe-cff6d0a85d43 http://www.dassiaposner.com/home/First_Night_Photos_files/Media/IMG_1403/thumb.jpg http://www.dassiaposner.com/home/First_Night_Photos_files/Media/IMG_1403/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px;
