Highlights from the 2009 Gay Pride Parade in New York, New York.

Vince didn’t feel like moving out of the way for my first photo of the day.

We made friends with the fabulous Dollhouse girls and joined the main parade.

Once on the main parade route, I went up to road to see what other people were up to.

Supporters were out in force along the entire length of the parade.

Some last minute co-ordination before they join the parade

People from all backgrounds were present

According to this chap I look extra hot in sunglasses. Thanks!

the ‘Dancing with the stars’ float. Amazing dancing, I followed this just to watch the dancing for 15 minutes! At this point they were shacking out to Michael Jackson’s ‘Wanna be starting something’.

I’ve been to 3 Gay pride parades in London but this one was by far the biggest, most vibrant and multi-cultural parade I have been to so far. We’ll see how London Gay Pride 2009 goes next weekend.

In & around London

Went to Wales on the weekend for a spot of gorge walking & high ropes. I took the Bessa R2M, some APX 100 and some Superia 200/400. Ran out of Tri-X before the trip and didn’t manage to get any on the way. Bah.

‘What is that vehicle in the distance?’ I hear you cry.

A sofa doing 80MPH, that’s what.

We stopped off at motorway services to use the facilities. This is Gareth.

We were delayed by this accident.

Crossing the bridge into Wales

En route to the lodge. Seems to be something in the road here.

Ah, a huge gang of escaped cows. I should have guessed.

We thought they broke out from here, so we decided to usher them back in.

My job was to stand in the middle of the road so they’d keep to one side and run through the gate.

Orderly lines please.

This is becoming a habit.

Ewa’s view

We went gorge walking so my camera stayed in the hotel room. This is a shot Ewa made of us messing about in a gorge. I had mud on my face. She couldn’t take part because she broke her collar bone so she walked along the side of the gorge making pics instead.

Next day we did some high ropes. Most of the time I was on the ropes or controlling a rope so again not many pics.

There should be more shots, but it turns out I did not load the roll of superia properly, which was roll two of the three I went through in Wales. Oh well. There were some shots I was looking forward to seeing but I guess the moments were never captured to begin with..
