Pittsburgh Pride makes Pittsburgher proud!!

My Thoughts Exactly

Umbrella with Tu-Tu

Shakin' It

Cop Masquerade

The Pittsburgh Pride parade was a real celebration!  It lasted for an hour with colorful displays of happiness and courage throughout.  My photographs were awful.  I was standing in the shade near the Macy's clock with the sunny side of the street as my background.  (That is why three of the above four have a glow filter on them.)  But, I was standing beside the most mesmerizing group, two mothers and their 5-week old baby who was the main attraction for many of the parade participants.   The mothers and baby were festooned in rainbow colors and received the hoops and hollers from one and all as they marched by.  The penguin was delighted to hold the infant as photographs were snapped.

Another group behind me had a cheerleader who called out to every group as they passed.  The spectators near by, including myself, joined in his shouts and clapping to the the parade participants delight!

Be brave, be happy and be proud!

Man! I Feel Like a Woman: Portraits of Pride Internationally Inspired, con't

 

Much of the art at the 2013 Carnegie International is about courage and risk.  These two elements inspired me to prepare and exhibit a series of five portraits taken at Pittsburgh Pride.  The price of the full series is $250.  After the exhibit, individual pieces will be $75.  Please contact me if you have interest in purchasing this series or the picture Old Friends also in this exhibition and shown in the last blog post.

The exhibition continues until March 29th.  On that evening, there will be a Closing Party from 6 - 8 pm with artists talking about their work and light refreshments.  However, I will be gallery sitting on Friday, March 28th from 11 am to 4 pm with artist, Holly Pultz.  Please come by and see the exhibit.
