The Red Lady

Days are flying, faster than light, in front of my eyes. There are so many things I should do in such a sort time that I am sure I will not be able to finish everything I planned to before leaving for Italy in just few days. The Big Day is now just a week [...]

Hand in Hand

Many times people told me I love PDA, Public Display of Affections, and it is absolutely true. I love when two people show their emotions, show something that in this British society is seen as something better done in private. Many times I have the sentence “Get a Room” and one time it was told [...]

Big glasses, big smile

Yesterday I have received an email from a person that recognized herself in one of my photos of last year London Pride. The email was short, but its contents hit me quite a lot: she was just saying thank you for having spent good words on her. I did not (or do not) know her [...]

The fairy and the woman in pink!

Some busy days, some huge system crashes and many technical problems, here it comes some more photos from the London Pride.
She(?) was walking down the parade track with a trolley. I cannot guess what she was bringing around. The eyes [...]

The devil is in the details

The devil, it is told, is in the details, in the small reflections, in the naughty thoughts. When I saw this guy, his little horns on the forehead, his grin (far from being evil I have to admit) and [...]

I really do not have any idea who this strange man was, but it is not important in our story. He was walking around Soho during the London Pride with a smile for everyone. He was another one who stepped in [...]
