Description
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Pride March, People of the Pride Parade is a visual celebration of the diverse, vibrant, and exuberant attendees of New York City's Pride.
In the style of Humans of New York, this gorgeous bright book filled with 200 photos honors the colorful celebrants of the New York City Pride March and Dyke March, capturing the memories, scenes, and faces that bring the rainbows and liveliness it shines with today. Filled with poignant and joyful portraits of LGBTQ+ community members and allies from New York City WorldPride, it also presents quotes from attendees throughout, providing insight into why they're there, who they're with, and what Pride means to them. The result is a resplendent one-of-a-kind volume, a portal to the spirit, sequins, and sexual liberty of the weekend, a keepsake tribute to the power of love over hate, and a meaningful touchstone, immortalizing the effervescence, excitement, and positive energy of the festivities.
Reviews
The photos in People of the Pride Parade capture the joyous spirit of Pride.
Peter Bussian, photographer and author of Trans New York
Blumstein's photos are a beautiful tribute to Pride and a striking reminder that it all started from a protest.
