San Francisco Pride Celebration/Parade 2016

I went to the San Francisco Pride Celebration and Parade today with a few friends. If you have been following me on social media now, you would know I'm a biologically intersexed individual who identifies as female. So when San Francisco Pride comes along, of course I'd join! Also, it sounded like a really fun event to join with my friends. Unlike two years ago (blog posts here), security is tight this year for celebration due to the recent tragic events in Orlando, Florida. There was a lot of bag restrictions in place so it was too much of a hassle to bring my full photography gear. Not to mention, my DSLR got a really big dust spot on the sensor, so it is off at a camera lab in Berkeley for sensor cleaning this weekend. Instead, I just brought my phone to the parade along with a selfie stick and mini tripod (with phone tripod adapter). I shot photos and videos on this trip. The videos will be up in a vlog next month, but that won't be up for a while. The cellphone photos I shot today are the ones in this blog post. I hope you enjoy.

One of my friends went shopping with me later. Here is a selfie I took at Forever21. I ended up getting this dress because I felt it looked really cute and pretty.

A random photo from my shopping trip. This was shot near Uniqlo. As you can see, the city was crowded from San Francisco Pride Parade and Celebration. 

This is all the photos for today. I hope you have enjoyed the photos! Please don't forget to share the blog post with your friends and family members!
