What makes this photo special to you?
I took this picture with Chris Bolton, also known as Connie Smudge. She is such a huge figure in the gay community in Vancouver and such a bundle of positive energy. It was also the first time I had done a Pride flag glitter beard. Everyone just loved the beard and I was so happy to be able to grab a minute with The Smudge in between her MC’ing duties at the Pride Parade. Pride is such a great time to celebrate us, be around our people, and acknowledge gay culture!
