Christine, as Guenter has said before, this event is always a great opportunity to make good portraits and to show all the 'glamour' of a colorful parade. but, with the choice of black and white for most of your images, you remove all the make-up and go straight in to the human condition. this photo-essay is not about what to show to the others but about what stays inside and in the core of each of these persons: emotions, feelings, dreams, wishes... this things makes their own story and, finally, the human history. the use of color is, for me, the representation of the strength that push all of these souls to stand up and fight for their rights and lives. My most sincere admiration for this work! Marisa

Well done Christine, alot of faces I saw that day. Wished I had run into you.

You portray with your lens, the plight and sadness that affects us all. Such social commentary as rare as this, illustrated by tender, touching photos as yours, should be manditory viewing. You tell a wonderful story with your photos. Such expression, both sad and happy are in your images. Excellent gallery, Christine.

Kal is right, Christine. There is a lot going on here -- you make us see, feel, and think as these people must. Yet the overwhelming thrust of this gallery is based on essential human values -- pride itself is a human value, isn't it? There is much incongruity as well -- genders are bent and convention is flouted, and what was once hidden in closets is thrust before us as a proud fact. The marchers are saying "we are who we are, and we have every right to be so."

What makes this gallery special is the human element. This could have been Cliche, but in a strange way, it is deeply personal. Well done Christine. K
