Gay Pride - June 29 2008 - NYC

Our local politicans


Well, I wanted color and boy I got it! What better way to have such colorful pictures than to check out the Gay Pride parade in NYC? It was my very first visit and I was not disappointed by the glamour, fun and camp. Saw quite a few local officials and politicians show up for the parade and walk in it. There was so much to look at and photograph, I was getting slightly dizzy moving my camera and eye around to try to get as much on camera as I could.

Mermaid Parade - Coney Island, NYC June 21, 2008

The Mermaid's Parade was very colorful and fun. I was there with a good friend on a picture expedition as we hear there's a battle to covert the Boardwalk to luxury towers and retail space while blocking the view to the beach and ocean.

It was a glorious first weekend of summer. The weather was great, the water and sand felt good between the toes, and the food was delicious. A ride on the Cyclone was a great way to end the day in Coney Island before heading on back to Manhattan for a quick dinner before going on home.
