Maite Mateo

I took my annual pilgrimage to the NYC Easter Parade yesterday and encountered a cavalcade of characters and wonderful hats. I also managed to stumble upon the documentation of the event from photojournalist Maite Mateo, who happened to capture the craziness of the event perfectly.

Her portfolio of official photography is intriguing but has a much more serious tone to it. Documenting the Sandy aftermath or living under a bridge is important work but I willfully embrace the lighter side of work shown on her Instagram.
