This post apparently got buried by other work and life. I just stumbled across it in my drafts. I felt so frustrated on this self-assigned shoot. Photographing parades has always been a struggle for me. I didn't feel confident about any of the images I was making and I walked home unhappy with what I had done, sure I hadn't made any good frames.
Fortunately, when I got home and got to work on my photographs, there were frames that I was actually really happy with. Things had gone a lot better than I had previously thought. It was a great reminder of how hard so many of us photographers can be on ourselves and our work and the need to just cut ones self some slack.
Not all these photos are amazing or great, but I'm glad I got myself out there to make some fun frames and, through the frustration, I forced myself to experiment and get weird in an effort to make something worth looking at, and that was an experience and learning worth having.
So here's my super delayed posting of photographs from the 2019 LA Pride Parade in West Hollywood:
