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 [...]
Today, while in the US they are celebrating the Independence Day, in London the gay community was celebrating the day of their pride. Walking on the big streets of the capital, gay, lesbians, queers and simple normal people were having fun, remembering the whole nation that there should be no discrimination for the sexual preferences.

This is one of the many photos I like, but that I hadn’t published because I had many others to and because I do not like to publish too many from a single series. Then, when the series have moved on, I tend to not to like the photos I took. My constant research for [...]
