Words by Jesse Serwer, Photos by Reid Van Renesse—
Photographer Reid Van Renesse—check out his excellent photo series of Ramajay Mas Band preparing for carnival—was out on Eastern Parkway on Labor Day Monday for the annual West Indian American Day Carnival in Brooklyn.

Scroll through for a selection of Reid’s images below to see what we mean.
