Penn Street and Broadmead, outside of entrance to Cabot Circus, Bristol, South West of England, United Kingdom, on Saturday 9th of July 2022.
About this photograph.
The Bristol Pride parade was marching northwards up Penn Street, and I was walking alongside, taking journalism and documentary photos of the march.
By this point, I reached the entrance to Cabot Circus, across from Broadmead, and was still looking for any shots to take.
Someone, I think a lady who was taking part in the parade, walked up to this guy with the bicycle, and tried to knock his sign off. The action happened before I noticed it, and by the time I got my camera up, it was too late.
All I could do was take photos of this guy, adjusting his sign back on his bicycle, then I spotted those two guys in the left side of the photo.
One is operating a camera, and the other is holding a microphone. They don’t look like a proper television news crew, so I figured maybe they’re just someone making a YouTube video. I think they wanted to interview him.
About the event.
Bristol Pride is an annual festival held over couple of weeks, promoting equality for the various LGBT+ people, with a march through the city at a weekend.
The Bristol Pride started life in 1977 as a fundraiser for the local LGBT community, and evolved into an annual event held every year. There was a gap of only some years between 1994 to 2010 when it was restarted.
The 2022 march started at Castle Park, near Castle Street. The route took them past Cabot Circus, and went around the major shopping area by using The Horsefair and Union Street, and as they went down Union Street, they headed towards Castle Park. When they reached Castle Park, they turned into Wine Street, went into High Street, and into Baldwin Street, headed towards the A38 which is Anchor Road. This route took them into Canon’s Road, and ended up near the Bristol Aquarium.
The march was said to take about an hour, but as a photographer whom would go back and forth, up and down the line, looking for good shots, it took me at least a couple of hours to complete the route.
After the march, those whom bought tickets, can attend an evening musical festival at The Downs, approximately to the north-west of city centre. I did not attend this event, and by the time I got back to my friend’s home, I was worn out from the heat.

Eddie was sitting at the southwest corner of Washington and Wabash. Currently he's staying at Pacific Garden Mission. He had an issue with his former landlord and he ended up losing all his belongings. He's going to be getting his veteran's benefits tomorrow, which will help him finally be in a place to find housing. He spoke of his grandkids and how much he enjoys seeing them. What he really needs right now is a bus pass. His advice? "Be yourself...and stay away from the bad stuff. There's a lot of temptation out there."
This display of baseball caps for sale at a farmers fair reveals the true nature of Trumpism and its symbiotic relationship with the old southern racist Confederacy.

Tony was on the northeast corner of Washington and Wabash. He was visibly upset and needed a place to stay. He's been homeless for quite awhile, but he's been on the street for four days. "They kicked me out of the shelter because I had an argument with someone over food". Now he has no place to stay. He was doing some housework for a gentleman and paying $20 a week to stay in his house, but he's not doing that at the moment. "Right now, I feel like I'm going through trials and tribulations, but God is taking care of me".

This cap is from 1966 and worn by myself for safety when I was a student surveyor working on rural roads for the County.

When baseball teams are behind late in a game and need to come from behind to win, their fans sometimes wear their baseball caps inside out, referring to them as “rally caps.” Here’s a shot showing the inside lining and the stitching on the backwards “C” on my Chicago Cubs baseball cap as it looks when the “rally cap” is worn.
This C appears in the middle of the cap front on the outside, just above the bill, and is solid red with a white edge. The rest of the cap is solid blue.
Unfortunately, the rally cap is often needed for the Cubs, but it rarely works. :-(
Fred was sitting on the northeast side of the Madison Street Bridge, by the Civic Opera Building. One of the first things he said was that he got hit by a CTA train and was in the hospital for two months. "That was when I woke up", he said. He doesn't drink anymore and is trying to stop smoking. He was sitting over on this side of the bridge, because it was less busy. "I like to be away from that, so I can be myself. "A man gave me $20 and told me to give some of it away too, because good will come back to you". So, he tries to do that whenever he's able.
I met Chevella "Chevy" at the entrance of the CTA stop on the north side of Chicago Avenue, just east of State. She's been out here for three months. "I need to get off the street", she said. She's been waiting six months for housing. Her dream? Simply a place to live, "and find work of some kind. It's tough out here."
8th January 2020:
Being a Wednesday, I was stuck at home all morning while Graham was out. Not that I'd have gone for a walk anyway, it's raining as usual.
Waited until around teatime, but it was still raining and I needed something for my POTD. So it was a "stocking filler."
My old basketball cap was looking a bit sorry for itself, so I got a nice new one from Santa for Christmas.
Now just need to be able to get out, so I can use it!
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
Here's another episode in my series on short shorts in SL.

[Note: This was a conversation I had months before COVID-19. I'm not connecting with anyone during this time].
Fred and his dog Bess were seated near the corner of Wacker and Randolph. Before his mom passed away, she told him, "take care of my Bess". So, ever since, Fred's been watching out for her. He asked his mom, "Why do you call her 'Bess'?" She responded, "Because she's the Best". Fred used to be on dialysis. He waited 4 1/2 years for a kidney and finally got one. His life has completely changed as a result. His doctor told him, "you're a miracle". Once he recovers fully, he'll start looking for work again. He was working in a hospital doing maintenance. He said, "this (sitting outside asking for money) isn't fun, but I have to do what I have to do." He uses some of his money for a room to live and take care of his dog. He wants people to know that he's a good person.
Mitchell was sitting in a wheelchair on the northwest corner of Washington and State. He's out here two months. Mainly because, "I need to get out of the hood...(it's) the same old thing". This is something he does to better himself. "I'm a good person", he said.
Fred stands on the corner of Lake and Clark with a plastic cup. He is actively engaging passersby hoping for a little kindness. It's his corner--he wrote "Fred's corner" on the building in pencil. Despite their indifference, he continues. A salesman in a sense—immune to rejection and surpisingly optimistic. He’s been homeless for some time now and stays in a shelter when he can. Not too long ago, he went to a shelter, but the shelter was full so he slept on the street, “Over there”, he said. What money he receives during the day goes to food and occasionally he’ll ride the train here and there. His optimism is truly inspiring. “God is good”, he said. “I read the Bible and I go to church every Sunday”. Not once did he complain about his life. He said he’s just trying to find his way. He felt lost, not really knowing what to do, or where to turn. Kind of paralyzed, I guess. His dream he said was not “to be a millionaire”, but to have a place to live and have a family.
I enjoyed folding this baseball cap from a square elephanthide paper. The form is generated by 16 mountain/valley couplets, with their cusps at the button on top. The button is a 16-segment twist. The mountain creases are intrinsically straight and the valley intrinsically curved. The cap is large enough for wearing.
