How do you take great pictures in an event if you don't have a press pass? Well, you don't.

It's hard enough to focus on moving subjects, and when I had to stay outside the barriers during the pride parade, it made it even more of a challenge. But I managed to take some quick snaps in between a puffy mane of a shemale and a seven-footer princess.
















It was, mostly, a wet celebration but spirits were high as always. Each year, a large number of people come to share with the fun but I do hope all the bright lights and deafening music won't make us forget of why there's even such a celebration.
