Field Note
“It's July 26, 2011, and I happen to be in New
York City the weekend just after the State of
New York legalized same-sex marriages. I cut it
close getting to the airport so I could catch the
fi rst part of the annual Gay Pride parade. The
parade, which started on the edge of the Chel-
sea neighborhood at 36th Street, traveled down
5th Avenue toward where I took this photograph
near Union Square and ended in the West Vil-
lage. Always a boisterous, celebratory event, the
parade has a special feel this year as celebrants
cheer what many describe as one of the great
civil rights victories of the current era.”
