Pride Cymru 2023, The Singer
File: 2023006-0635
The Hayes, Cardiff (Caerdydd), Wales (Cymru), United Kingdom, on Saturday 17th of June 2023.
About the photograph.
This was shot near the John Batchelor statue (the base is seen in the background) on the junction with Hills Street.
I think this lady is a street busker, and is seen singing as the Pride parade continue past her, heading for the junction of Duke Street and Queen Street.
Being a deaf person, I wouldn’t know what kind of songs she was singing, but by the look of the speed of her singing, and her movements, I’m taking a wild guess, and thinking maybe a ballad song.
Normally it would take about an hour to complete the one mile parade, but this is for everyone who is on the march, I on the other hand was dashing back and forth, looking for any interesting shots, would have taken about a couple of hours to do the photojournalism of the parade.
This area, where she was, would be more or less the approximately halfway point.
Because it was a very hot sunny day, I was sweating buckets, and ended up with a sunburn. The perils of doing outdoor photography in hot weather, is not thinking of bringing a bottle of sun cream.
About the event.
Pride Cymru was previously called Cardiff Mardi Gras when it was formed in September 1999. It held annual festival in Bute Park. It became a registered charity in 2010, and starting from 2012, they held a parade through the city centre.
In 2014, Cardiff Mardi Gras was renamed to Pride Cymru, and had operated under the new name ever since the change of name.
Pride Cymru is in reality a weekend event, often called Pride Cymru Big Weekend, and attracts up to 50,000 people over the three days, with Saturdays having the parade through the city centre.
The route for the parade is approximately about more or less one mile in length, and would take anyone approximately up to an hour to complete the route.
Because I was doing photojournalism, trying to find interesting shots, therefore I often sometimes walk back and forth, up and down the parade, so it would take me about a couple of hours to do the photo-shoot.
That day was a very hot and strong sunny day, and I some sunburn.
