About those photographs.
This photograph was taken on The Horsefair, just at the junction of Barrs Court. I was in front of a shop called Playnation, and in the background of the photo is the opposite side of the street.
I was walking alongside the march, trying to do photo-journalism kind of shots, and I noticed this guy. I believe he is one of the many volunteers placed along the march route to guide the Pride along.
He was being very pleased, happy, and having a great time, as he waves the pride march along, showing them the route to go.
I took some photos of him, then went over to ask him for permissions to publish the photos online, and he happily agreed.
About the event.
Bristol Pride is an annual festival held over couple of weeks, promoting equality for the various LGBT+ people, with a march through the city at a weekend.
The Bristol Pride started life in 1977 as a fundraiser for the local LGBT community, and evolved into an annual event held every year. There was a gap of only some years between 1994 to 2010 when it was restarted.
The 2022 march started at Castle Park, near Castle Street. The route took them past Cabot Circus, and went around the major shopping area by using The Horsefair and Union Street, and as they went down Union Street, they headed towards Castle Park. When they reached Castle Park, they turned into Wine Street, went into High Street, and into Baldwin Street, headed towards the A38 which is Anchor Road. This route took them into Canon’s Road, and ended up near the Bristol Aquarium.
The march was said to take about an hour, but as a photographer whom would go back and forth, up and down the line, looking for good shots, it took me at least a couple of hours to complete the route.
After the march, those whom bought tickets, can attend an evening musical festival at The Downs, approximately to the north-west of city centre. I did not attend this event, and by the time I got back to my friend’s home, I was worn out from the heat.
