10 on 10 – May 2014 (American Idol Hometown Parade) North Carolina Photographer

10 on 10…Ten photos taken throughout one day documenting that day and posted on the tenth of each month.

My family and I headed downtown for this month’s 10 on 10 photography project. It was Saturday, a little rainy, with a lot of people waiting for American Idol finalist Caleb Johnson to appear in his hometown parade. If you haven’t been watching American Idol, Asheville resident Caleb Johnson is a rocker, (think Meat Loaf), and has an amazing, powerful voice.

We decided to eat lunch and timed it for the parade. We found a seat on the patio of The Noodle Shop at the corner of the parade route, ate, and waited. The parade arrived an hour late due to a broken-down limo but the crowds were still excited. It made for a fun, unique day!
