With images of the Toronto Pride Parade showing up in photoblogland ^[1], I decided to check out the schedule for Montreal’s Divers/Cite Parade ^[2] that will take place on July 30th.

Unfortunately, the organizers have obviously ignored my comments ^[3] from last year and have again decided to hold this “colorful” event in the evening hours. Capturing dancing and gyrating people in low light is quite simply impossible. In addition, the parade route will be shorter which means more people in the way. That really doesn’t make sense to me since the Out Games are supposed to bring in even more participants. In addition, I feel that a Sunday afternoon parade is more inclusive since it allows many families to bring in their kids. Isn’t that the point?

My galleries ^[4] of this event have always been popular so I’ll probably come again this year but I hope that their promises of more light will make my job easier.
