A day to be proud!

Brussels' Gay Pride 2011

It's been a while since I last wrote but I have a very good reason for it.

A couple of weeks ago I volunteered as a photographer for Gay Pride. This year Brussels' LGBT Organization decided to hire 10 official photographers for their site and I was lucky enough to get in.

Pride week actually started May 6th but of course the main event was the parade on May 14th. And the parties, the crazyness and outrageous - what you find in every Gay Pride worldwide.

I started the day at 11h00. Picked up my badge and got outside. It was a sunny day, perfect for the occasion. What I liked about this Pride was that there was a lot of information about Gay rights, Anti discrimination campaigns, and people that cared about these kind of things and not just party, I seriously appreciated that.

On the other hand, madness happened around every single corner, it was hard to keep up; I'm still surprised I managed to because the day before I went out with some friends and I only had a 3 hour sleep. And besides, I wanted to party still, I mean, it was Gay Pride!

As a whole I had a great experience as a photographer. It was really nice to be an official one, wearing my Pride Press badge, being able to take pictures with more ease, it was worthwhile.

I'll post some pictures but if you want to see the rest of them, they are on www.thepride.be

Alla prossima!
