Pride Cymru 2023, The LP Lady

            File: 2023006-0121

Near Castle Arcade entrance and opposite of Revolution restaurant, on Castle Street, Cardiff (Caerdydd), Wales (Cymru), United Kingdom, on Saturday 17th of June 2023.

About the photograph.

This is a photo of a lady, I think a transgender lady, whom had this impressive black outfit, including what looks like an oversized vinyl record as a hat, completed with a good looking label. Really impressive headgear.

Back in the old days, sometimes records like those, commonly a 12 inches diameter record played at 33 and half rpm (revolutions per minute), is often known as a LP meaning long play, and usually good enough for a full-length album. That’s why I give it the title of The LP Lady.

The photograph was converted to Black and White in Adobe Lightroom, for a good old fashion newspaper like image. 
 
About the event.

Pride Cymru was previously called Cardiff Mardi Gras when it was formed in September 1999. It held annual festival in Bute Park. It became a registered charity in 2010, and starting from 2012, they held a parade through the city centre.

In 2014, Cardiff Mardi Gras was renamed to Pride Cymru, and had operated under the new name ever since the change of name.

Pride Cymru is in reality a weekend event, often called Pride Cymru Big Weekend, and attracts up to 50,000 people over the three days, with Saturdays having the parade through the city centre.

The route for the parade is approximately about more or less one mile in length, and would take anyone approximately up to an hour to complete the route.

Because I was doing photojournalism, trying to find interesting shots, therefore I often sometimes walk back and forth, up and down the parade, so it would take me about a couple of hours to do the photo-shoot.

That day was a very hot and strong sunny day, and I some sunburn.
