Gay Pride Parade - NYC - 2010
Monday, June 28th, 2010Honestly, I stumbled on this interesting and fun of a parade in NYC. I’ve developed this ritual of going to Washington Square Park after work and/or during the weekends. I go there to read, people watch, and record street performances that always seem to take place at this iconic park.
This time when I got out of the subway I was in for a pleasant surprise. Scores of people were lined up behind police barricades off of Avenue of The Americas and the 9th street area. It was the Gay Pride Parade and I instinctually took out my phone video camera and started shooting anything and everything.
I missed out on the big floats but still captured some interesting stuff. I spliced, cut, and pasted some footage with Blur’s 1994 track, “Boys & Girls”.
