"After the Fall " ~ PRIDE 2010 :: Section B

~ normally ~ pride goeth before the fall
~ but ~ it's been so cold lately
~ that i wanted to add some warm sunny shots to the blog
~ this time, 'after the fall' ~ (in the winter - to be exact)
~
~ so ~ i went back to the PRIDE 2010 parade shots
~ in order to relive an almost-forgotten summer
~ hope you enjoy !!



~ i marched with Males Au Naturel (MAN)
~ a great naturist / nudist group in NYC
~ for more info ~ check out http://www.males.org/
~
~ i've been a member of MAN ~ for many years
~ and have marched with the group for several years
~ serving ~ the last two years ~ as our co-Group Marshal
~

~ here the MAN folks pose with Lt. Daniel Choi
~ former American infantry officer
~ who was co-Grand Marshal for the parade
~

~ this is our Section Leader for the parade
~ our job was to remain close behind me
~ so that the parade didn't stretch out too far
~ (the group did surprisingly well ~~)
~ (remaining very close behind him :)

~ when you're dressed like this ~ as a photographer

~ you can get away with walking up to anybody

~ no matter how they're attired ~ and getting a shot

~ especially while they're photographing you !!

~ it's the best way to see the crowds ~ and get good shots
