Pride and No Prejudice – Seattle Pride 2018

Pride, my eleventh year, coming out to join in, through the lens. This years announced theme, “Beyond Borders” likely needs no explanation given the current goings on. Now I usually find a theme, even if not intended, but alas, I think we’ll let the official one stand. My interpretation of it, is that we should […]

Seattle Pride 2017 ~ Rainbow Wonder

Pride is wonderous. From the obvious pop culture reference, to the historical roots. This parade tradition that began in riot, proceeds in Love, and embraces protest. This years festivities began, not unlike the last few…with the holier than thou protest, met by Queens. This year, the perfect diffuse antidote was a furry stalking with an […]

#LoveWins…this was the hashtag that I used, instictively, the morning of the SCOTUS ruling ensuring marriage equality from sea to shining sea in the United States. For those opposed, it was controversial and mystifying. For the rest of us, the masses, we can celebrate, because, as it should #LoveWins. Just 2 days after this landmark […]

Pride turned 40 this year, in Seattle… But, let’s be honest, the theme to this years pride was brought to you by one wise man, waving the intergalatical vulcan salute: “live long and prosper”…yes, I’m talking about Mr. Takei:) George drove up and down 4th Ave, pre parade, gleeful in his celebrity Grand Marshall status.

Seattle Pride 2012: Here comes the Bride (Groom)

Seattle Pride is something that has drawn my lens since I started seriously shooting with a dSLR – back in 2008.  It helps that I just have to walk down the hill a couple blocks to start taking in the preparations… Each year, the imagery I see, is so full of joy, hope, and love.  […]

Pride 2011

So – I totally flaked and didn’t blog timely the Pride 2011 images this year – tsk tsk! But I have some – I actually lost quite a few that never got processed due to an unbacked up hard drive failure (tsk tsk again!)… Anywho, with the year coming to a close – I didn’t […]

Event Photography: Over the RAINBOW?! Seattle Pride 2010

Given the barely unrainy day…we almost didn’t need the excess in rainbows via our most fabulous of parades to see said rainbow, here in our very own Emerald City…but alas, the skies held their drops, and we had a lovely few hours of temperate temps, and twirling dispays of rainbows, and yes, Oz references…it took […]
