Big photos! Very colorful group, the makeup is amazing, so are some of the hairdos! I have to admit, my favorite picture is the one of the little Asian boy or girl blowing at a mini Canadian flag :)

You certainly do have an eye, Dar! I love the one with the puppy in it - is that who I think it is?!
Hollyridger said at 11:12 a.m. on Jul 7, 2009:
Oops, no, I can see it is not Fizz - never mind, I still like the photo!

Nice shots Dar. Of course, I like the one with the puppy and also the fellow/girl with the spikes in their hair.

Oh I forgot! Annelies, I was so pleased with that shot of the little boy, I would have made a Canada Day tab with just that, but it was out of focus... Thank you for pointing it out though. :)

Thank you Patty! :)
JuDeck said at 8:52 p.m. on Jul 7, 2009:
great series Dar. roller derby seems to be hitting the rounds again, we had it here for a little while then it's disappeared again.
what i love most about Pride is the people and how they love being photographed.
Ira said at 10:41 p.m. on Jul 7, 2009:
Perfect portraits! Expressive and joyful faces! Very cool!!!
Pattymaryclare said at 11:00 p.m. on Jul 7, 2009:

Dar---amazing portraits....each one tells a story..All of these images are full of joy and pride. kudos to you on a "most excellent" tabblo.
Noe said at 12:44 a.m. on Jul 8, 2009:
Very cool portraits Dar... a lot of color and great time :o)
AliDar said at 12:40 p.m. on Jul 8, 2009:
Thanks Jude! :) Roller Derby is fun; lots of excitement, but it's not what it use to be with Skinny Mini Miller! :) And it's a photographers dream during pride; folks dress up to be seen, being photographed is acknowledgment that they are. Plus, it doesn't hurt when the photographer smiles back and thanks them. :)

Peace Patty! :)

Thank you very much Linda! :) ... If there's a story in what I am shooting, I'm not aware of it at the time. I just shoot what draws my attention, and it was fun to try to capture a few portraits for a change of pace. :)

Thanks Noe! :)

It is good to see people expressing their happiness and freedom and pose so naturally to be photographed. Nice tour. Thanks for sharing : )
PhotoPop said at 11:07 a.m. on Jul 10, 2009:
Everyone has a cause but far too few have a sense of humor about it. This looks like a joyous celebration of BEING. Nicely captured.
Pkeener said at 1:16 p.m. on Jul 10, 2009:
DAR! W O W. this is absolutely precious. Your portraits are unrivaled. Timing is everything and I think you mastered the moment here. LOVE this. Layout is perfect, too.
AliDar said at 1:50 p.m. on Jul 10, 2009:
Thank you Pam! :)
