Ringing in the New Year

A musician plays cymbals that seem to have seen better days during the celebration of Chinese New Year in New York City's Chinatown neighborhood.

 

Part of the celebration involved people in Chinese dragon costumes visiting local businesses to bring them luck in the coming year. The dragons in this case were accompanied by a chariot of sorts with a drummer beating time on a large drum and a few cymbal players walking alongside accompanying him or her. This is one of those cymbal players.

 

Another shot from my recent photowalk with Jeff Bergman and Gary Burke.
