This year I finally got to photograph the 2009 Pride Parade in Vancouver. I had wanted to attend this event for a couple of years as I had heard it was one of the most fun, colourful parades anywhere. And I was not disappointed! It was a great parade with a happy, friendly crowd watching it. It was estimated that 700,000 people lined the route to watch the parade, which lasted well over 2 hours!

You can be sure that I will be back at the 2010 Vancouver Pride Parade to photograph the festivities again!

I hope that I captured some of the wonderful energy and spirit of this event and that you enjoy my images of it.
