Flickr (and Andrew) = awesome

When I saw a report on gay pride at boston.com a few hours ago, I clicked through and there was only one lousy photo and a very short article (they've got a link to photos up there now, but it's only 5 shots). So I headed over to Flickr, searched for "gay pride boston," sorted by "most recent" and got to see a ton of great action shots from Andrew and others. Plus I can go back later and there will surely be a whole new bunch of photos in queue. All hail Web 2.0? :-)

Expect the Globe to post more photos

Surely the Globe sent multiple photogs. Maybe they're getting shots at Gov't Center, and the site will be posting soon. Hopefully NYTCo.'s ongoing brutalization of the Globe didn't prevent this...

A few of David L. Ryan's shots are better, photojournalistically, than the snapshots I've seen on Flickr thus far. Imagine you could use only one image for the story, and notice what elements he included. I don't understand that first shot they posted with the Local News Update, though: it doesn't show a representative story I can see, and technically the version that hit the site looked like it was shot with a Holga.

If yesterday I had to guess how the Globe would do the assignments, I would say at least two shooters up close and personal with marchers and crowd (Dina Rudick and Yoon S. Byun, for starters?), and Ryan for aerial shots to get a sense of scale and spatial context as well as a different physical perspective.

one big difference

I'm noticing a decided bias in the amount of clothing people are wearing in the Globe shots :-)

Yeah

Hey, it was a warm day!

I didn't see the parade itself, but we did see people wandering over toward Mass Ave/Symphony Hall area wearing wings, makeup, rainbow everything, etc.

Further out, during dinner at Davis, there was a large rainbow and sticker clad group with a large group of kids between the three couples and a stroller and plastic wagon parked outside.

That depraved Gay lifestyle, no doubt: helping with homework, avoiding cooking and dishes by taking the kids out to dinner, mowing the lawn, etc. Yep.
