Pride 2010
July 4, 2010 8:38 pm All, LondonLondon Pride – July 3rd, 2010
Summer has finally arrived, and with it – Gay Pride.
It’s a colourful, lively, good-natured event with great vibes and friendly people. I went along when people were congregating in Baker Street, in preparation for the parade.

Only when I was looking back at my pics did I realise that he resembles Nigel (or “Angel Nigel” as he once told me) – a man who often turns up at events dressed in England colours.
One year at Wimbledon he was outside the grounds demonstrating how to serve:
Another time I came across him in the street randomly:
He demonstrated how to play football:
At a Tibet Protest:
I’d forgotten about him actually – once I bumped into him on the Tube and we had a conversation about rings.. I don’t recall exactly what was said but I vaguely remember him telling me about why he wears certain rings. Very random.
Anyway, back to Pride!
My personal favourite:
In the spirit of the World Cup, vuvuzelas were for sale:
Great atmosphere as always. I didn’t stay for the actual parade but apparently around 1m people were expected to turn up 
London has some fab public events including various carnivals over the next couple of months. Looking forward to those!

Most of the time it’s more fun taking pictures during preparation, instead of the actual parade, at events like this one. People are more relaxed and you have way more space to move and shoot.
Great stuff.
