Sacramento Pride 2001
Sacramento Valley AIDS Walk, September 9, 2001
|
 |
|
8:45am, the crowd at the West steps of the Capitol
Building. The sun is rising in the east behind the
building. This causes shadows and a bright sky and poor
picture balance. Once again, criticizing the photography. |

Mayor Heather Fargo. Gratuitous inclusion of
politician's picture to aggrandize the site. |

Paul Curtis, Event Chairperson, at the podium.
Also at the morning ceremony was Jennifer Whitney and Cheer SF.
I took more pictures of Cheer SF, they came out worse than the
Rainbow Festival ones. Better you visit them at their site
www.cheersf.org . |

Walkers on H Street crossing 16th Street. The
crowd was large enough to stop traffic for several minutes.
Nice morning for a walk ! |

Auto Concourse de Elegance at the
Mercantile. Lincoln, Chrysler, Metropolitan, Mustang,
Ford. Nice old cars. Insert bad joke here - "There's
always old things at the Merc." |
Gay Rodeo, August 19, 2001
 |
|
Jr Bull riding scene. The rider is still on
the bull, the clown in front of the bull. Look close.
The officials wouldn't let me get any closer because I didn't
have a rodeo badge. So I need a camera with a zoom or a
badge. |

Jr Bull minus the rider. None of the crowd
pictures came out. It was hot, typical Sacramento summer
day, like 100 degrees. |
Village People concert, California State Fair, August
17, 2001
 |
|
The happy crowd ranged from
grannies to kids on dad's shoulders. We've been at it for
25 years they said. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Performing a medley and making fun
of other's people's old disco tunes "Trash Disco." Note
afro wig. They sang Sylvester's "Mighty Real" without the
lead vocals for a bittersweet effect. "Macho Man" got the
crowd singing along and dancing. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Singing the finale "YMCA."
Indian has his headdress on now. |

(editorial
note: ok, the pics aren't the best, hey I have a 1
megapixel camera and no artistic talent, so send me your
pics to include
mark@outsacramento.com or better pose for me nude :) ) |
