so heres the thing..
today is women's day...
but why don't we have a men's day?
aren't we supposed to be equal?
Today was the day there were rainbows everywhere. Literally.
On another news, today the Supreme Court of the US came with the historic ruling declaring that same-sex couples have a right to marry in all 50 states. A massive step towards ensuring equal rights for everyone.
26 June 2015. Cascade Park, Tallahassee.
With the boyfriend away for the weekend I was all set to catch up on some reading and housework, when m'buddy (a fellow photographer, DJ and engineer) mentioned he'd planned to attend the Pride event in Cologne, and would I like to come along?
Reading can wait.
I'd been to Cologne before of course, admiring its beautiful Dom cathedral from without and within, though I remember it having a lot more scaffolding around it. I hadn't visited the city during a time when it saw not one but two important public events: the Pride celebration of diversity and equality and love and all that good stuff, and an apparently historic football match between Germany and Italy.
The latter dominated Saturday evening. Bars were crowded but quiet, occasionally surging with excitement that ebbed crescendoed as goals were attempted, missed, completed and then equalized, culminating in sudden-death overtime that went on a surprisingly (and evidently thrillingly) long time.
Germany won. Cheers and jeers rose throughout the city, beers were clanged, strangers were hugged and kissed and for the first time in my life I found myself surrounded by hundreds if not thousands of people in a nighttime city intersection, all headbanging in delirious ecstasy to an unannounced houm-pah-pah marching band playing Rage Against The Machine on brass and drums.
A gaggle of orange-shirted Dutch football fans celebrated with their Eastern brethren by chanting "Alle Duitsers zijn homo's" to which the Germans responded with "Alle Niederländer sind Homo's" in good spirits, accurate rhythm and surprisingly consistent key.
Prescient in a way, because on Sunday that very much seemed to be borne out. I've visited and enjoyed Amsterdam's annual Canal Pride many times (our parade floats actually float, y'all) but hadn't yet seen a street parade, and I'm so glad m'buddy cajoled me into tagging along.
In the spirit of togetherness and diversity and exuberance I'd brought along my little photo printer. I sneakily befriended various couples and groups by giving them a portrait to take home, and in exchange was easily allowed to sneak to the front for a better view of the parade.
In one case, when a lady tried to give me two euros for the print and the only way I could demur was to ask for a peck on the cheek instead, the leather-clad beardo standing next to her proudly told me she was her daughter and that, by Westphalian law, I was now betrothed to marry her.
Soooo I'm rather glad I'm home and if anyone is well-versed in EU law, please let me know how far David and I will need to emigrate to escape the looming threat of that shotgun wedding, thanks in advance, please help, for real though please help thank you please.
The parade of course was more, shall we say, colorful than the wholesome and family-friendly joie-de-vivre here depicted, but I leave it to your delicate imaginations to picture how the great city of Cologne celebrates Pride!

Well, it's a long time since I devote myself to a nice triptych ... I happened some time ago to witness the spectacle of a very interesting theater company , which counts among its dancers people of various skills , having as primary objective the integration and the desire to prove that the persons so-called "different" because of what are called disabilities, in reality they are not at all. The show is very long, divided into scenic paintings highly dynamic , generally a lot of fun , with little indulgence in the most obvious way to go, that of pity. It also very difficult to photograph , because both lights is the continuous movement . I opted for a long time esposition , taking advantage of the trails body , without pretending to have everything in focus but only for capture the moment . It was not even necessary to do post production. The triptych is a human subject , and for my first time . Nothing monuments , landscapes , or diagonal . The first photo has as its theme the equality.
Hope you enjoy it .
Beh, è molto tempo che non mi dedico a un bel trittico ... Mi è capitato qualche tempo fa di assistere allo spettacolo di una compagnia teatrale molto interessante, che vanta tra i suoi danzatori persone di varie abilità , avendo come obbiettivo primario l' integrazione e la volontà di dimostrare che le persone cosiddette 'diverse' a causa di quelle che vengono definite disabilità , in realtà non lo sono affatto. Lo spettacolo è molto lungo, diviso in quadri scenici altamente dinamici, generalmente molto divertente, con poca indulgenza verso la via più ovvia da percorrere, quella della pietà . E' anche estremamente difficile da fotografare, causa sia le luci sia il continuo movimento. Ho optato per tempi lunghi, approfittando delle scie corporee, senza pretendere di avere tutto a fuoco ma solo di cogliere l' attimo. Non è stato neanche necessario fare post produzione. Il trittico è a tema umano, per una e la mia prima volta. Niente monumenti, paesaggi o diagonali. La prima foto ha come tema l' uguaglianza.
Spero che possa piacere.
This is a historic building I guess, with village history on the wall it seems. The building itself doesn't seem that old though... Week 15 of 52. Taken with Canon t1i, edited in Affinity Photo on iMac.

When you meet someone better than yourself, turn your thoughts to becoming his equal. When you meet someone not as good as you are, look within and examine your own self.

In other words Jono Hey's weekly sketch from 19-5-2024
I am following Jono Hey for several years now. His weekly drawings are often surprising, on point, and even instructive.
And this week, finally, with a bicycle again. ;-)
He also recently released an interesting book full of drawings: Big Ideas Little Pictures.

I won't let a difference of opinion keep you from being my friend.
And I hope that my expressing what I've come to believe won't alienate you from me.
I've decided that for me, the issue of Gay and Lesbian equality under the law is today's equivalent of the fight for racial justice in the 1960's. I can understand why they need a day to feel proud. Our friends who are homosexual have been made to feel guilty and worth-less for so long.
My wife and I walked in the Pridefest parade today for the first time. We walked with people from several Christian Congregations. I was deeply moved as people cheered their encouragement and support, not just of us, but of all the parade participants.
I was proud to stand with my gay and lesbian friends. To the extent that we deny others human rights, our own rights are diminished.
