One of my all time photography heroes and an amazing photojournalist is Martin Parr.
I was so happy to find, whilst visiting Bristol Museum and Art Gallery today that there was a Martin Parr exhibit taking place.
Great to see some of Martin's work from previous Bristol Prides, especially as it's Pride 2025 here tomorrow.
A person dressed in Mayoral garb, stands in the right foreground. On their cheek is a glitter streak.
Behind them is a person wearing black shorts and fishnet stockings. They wear no top but have rainbow arm coverings.
On their forehead is written the word GAY.
On their chest are the words, POOF, BENDER, FAG, QUEER.

Some of the crowd gathered for a PRIDE event. A person looks directly at the camera. They are wearing a hat covered in large flowers which are blue, green, pink and red. They are dressed in a white T Shirt which says "Kiss whoever the fuck you want."
