A Sister of Perpetual Indulgence,
Long Beach Pride Parade 2011

June is LGBT Pride month in America with the celebrations kicking off in Southern California with the Long Beach Pride Festival towards the end of May.

These celebrations provide great opportunities for photography, with lots of color and expressions of diversity reflecting both the LGBT community and American culture.

I managed to capture pictures that ranged from gay dads with their 14-week old daughter watching the parade quietly from the sidelines, to the always-outrageous "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence". Oh, and the usual contingent of Christian protestors.

Please enjoy my selection of pictures reflecting the diversity of gay pride, Long Beach, 2011

Do Not Disconnect - The Real Digital Divide

Posted
The fly in the ointment, Opito Bay, around 2007. This post was originally published in November, 2007. Almost two decades on, the photograph and the argument both feel — if anything — more relevant than they did then. I have updated this post lightly in May, 2026, some 19 years later! The Photograph I was on holiday in Opito Bay on New Zealand's Coromandel Peninsula, sitting on the couch in the place we were staying at. A friend's iPod was resting on the coffee table, on top of a copy of The Economist from March 2005, whose cover story happened to be titled "The Real Digital Divide." A fly landed on the iPod's click wheel and stayed there. I reached for my camera, took the shot, and edited it later in Photoshop to give it the grungy, oversaturated look you see above. The fly on the iPod along with "The Real Digital Divide" struck me — immediately, and with a kind of emb...

Anza-Borrego Wildflowers

Anza Borrego Desert State Park California Wildflowers This cluster of wildflowers is typical of the flowers in Plum Canyon in Anza-Borrego Desert this spring. Because of the dry and harsh environment, most of the flowers are tiny like the three in this photo. But what they lack in size, they make up for in color. It's pretty difficult to try and identify all these flowers, but I'm pretty sure the white one is Desert Pincushion. Help out if you can. I've been using the CalFlora.org website to try and identify the flowers in this series.
