For over 25 years, this photographer had a window-side seat at the Macy’s Parade

CNN — When photographer Elizabeth Kahane’s husband asked where in New York they should live following their engagement in 1998, she had a very specific requirement for their marital home: A view of the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. E.A.Kahane Kahane’s images, 160 of which feature in her new book “Come Join the Parade,” depict marching brass bands, pom pom-waving cheerleaders, themed floats and some of the millions of spectators who line the streets. “I’ve had friends come over and look at me like I’m a crazy person.” The parade is an major event in the Kahane household. “It’s a point in time, and it’s a nice, beautiful way to enjoy it, because it won’t happen again.” A behind-the-scenes shot captures Kahane at work during the parade. E.A.Kahane New balloons at this year’s parade include Gabby from Netflix’s “Gabby’s Dollhouse” and Marshall, a Dalmatian firefighter from “Paw Patrol.” As ever, Kahane will be there, dangling out of her window as they pass.
