I had the pleasure of photographing the Hotsteppas Brass Band and King of Bacchus 2012, Will Ferrell. The actor/comedian met with the kids at Children's Hospital in New Orleans, Louisiana, and shortly after visited more patients in the hospital. Mr. Ferrell will ride as King Bacchus XLIV on Sunday, February 19, 2012; it is his first Mardi Gras. The Hotsteppas Brass Band is a traditional New Orleans Dixieland/Funk band.
