#FreedomTo... #GayPride... #Mckellen... #RainLetdown and the Rest....

It started to rain so heavily that you would blame no one but the homophobes who prayed with their little hearts but prayed so hard that it rained almost non-stop and rained cats and dogs...

In addition to heavy rain, first time in my life, my camera got f*** up...  None of the buttons were working... ISO stuck at 2000 (that is not very handy during the day) and preview button not functioning at all... So I was shooting blindly...

Despite all that, it was an exciting day even if event was not as naked and sexy as I would have imagined.. "Cmooon guys, show me some love and sex and passion... Get naked..." - I was thinking... Cus Y'know that's what makes the picture, not because there's a lack of any of that in this city. 

Gay Bikers

This little chick with only one shoe!

Walking up and down, up and down, up and... If you see a couple of photographers in a panic mode, then theres something interesting happening and here we bump into him... Later he came out on the stage in Trafalgar Square, wearing the shirt that read: "Some people are gay, get over it," in Russian...

So many fake Conchitas... Later we had real one on Trafalgar stage...

And the real one... Find the difference..

These people... :)

Who would say NO to his cuddle?!

So English!

And then party moved to Soho, obviously...

Oh, by the way

Being yourself...

Because

Mother - Child

Twenty years difference is such a huge gap.. And that huge gap is such an annoying cause of misunderstanding.. Misunderstanding in values, meaning of life... How is it possible to find that happy medium to keep us both happy?! I also think the mother-daughter relationships are the most complicated ones...

I have a challenge.. I have three weeks to come up with an extra-fuckin-ordinary reason that would persuade my mom that my staying in London is worth it.. I've already tried all those arguments that you just had in mind.. That's why it IS a challenge...

Meko and Kimo had a little fight, possibly the cutest one I've witnessed so far and nowhere as complicated as mine and Mother Kochi's.. But he is a kid yet...

Then it was over also in the cutest possible way...

Go Skateboarding

I didn't know there was a skateboarding day... It turns out there is one.. Go Skateboarding Day is usually marked June 21 which is today. What a coincidence that walking home today I bumped into these guys..
I somehow very much like skateboarders... Always did... Beautiful shapes and spirit and dedication and courage and brave souls...  

Big Car - Little Penis & Fuck 4x4

I came across "didi jipi - patara chuchu" (Big Car, Little Penis) campaign the other day on Facebook... It's a campaign against 4x4 cars by young Georgian environmental activists. It was so exciting to see someone in Georgia cares but their campaign slogan confused me a little - What does penis size have to do with this? The very first thought I had was that perhaps CO2 car emission affects the size?! But no, that's not the case. I wish it was though. There would be ZERO 4x4 in Georgia cause they think it's all about the size... Anyway, that's a different topic... 

So we started a discussion in our secret Facebook group, whether we all agree that the campaign message doesn't completely make sense and Eka Chitanava - the jiniuz - put it really well: "The campaign reinforces masculine stereotypes about men instead of subverting them. The message stipulates that men riding big  cars have small-size penises – ok, I got the gist of the message that it targets some individuals who flag their possessions as symbols of power and dominance, and mentioning their “pride” in a negative context should discredit them. 

However, let’s follow the logic – stemming from the message, it turns out that men with small penises are somehow inferior to the rest, the focus is still on masculine features of the image  “what a real man stands for”. And don’t blame me for a literal interpretation of the text. In fact, “the size” should have nothing to do with this discussion at all!"

Another question I have is:  What about women drivers? Why don't they get "punished"?! There are as many women 4x4 drivers who's awareness needs to be raised as men. So why don't you masculinize (I know this word doesn't exist) women to make them feel awkward and say:  "Big cars, no boobs!" or "Big cars - balls!" Oh, they will not like it, trust me... 

And most importantly, guys, instead of spending so much time taking pictures of your fingers showing how small a small penis is,  why don't you ACT?!

Wouldn't it be better to, say, you paint 4x4 cars' windscreens?! Imagine, tomorrow morning Priest Mama Iobi wakes up, leaves his house holding a taburetka on his way to work (church) and his massive, multi-thousand dollar black SUV has your logo (little penis sign?) painted on the windscreen... Don't you think it's much more satisfying and fun than your selfies?! I think it is!  

Last week group of young activists - The Future - had a ton of fun in Canary Wharf (London's financial area) car exhibition. They protested against 4x4's by wearing t-shirts that read: "Fuck 4x4". Security was quite unhappy and asked them to leave. Girls left to another location.. Eventually activists were guided to the Underground by security guys to make sure, they would leave..

Wino

Yesterday I got called a wino. How sweet is the sound of the word itself - W I N O ..  I know (I hope) I don't exactly fit into the definition of it (a person who drinks excessive amounts of cheap wine or other alcohol, especially one who is homeless) and perhaps neither do these collection of sleeping bros of mine... but I like it... Let's have a great weekend winos!

Is Sky the Limit?!

Starting from Friday night (a night before first day of Field Day) I was so excited, so expecting that I was going to have an amazing weekend that indeed was a great one... There was even sun (which was not planned by the gods, but I prayed and they just love me) and music and whiskey and up high there was the sky. high high... And sky is the limit... Except it sometimes is not... 

I lay down there, watching the sky and shooting that first picture which you might think is up-sight down and the guy on the right stepped on my hair. I had to touch his leg because he didn't hear me crying that I was losing all my curls and that they were sorta precious for me... Then he was apologising for 12 minutes...

Bloodorange

What?!!!!!

She said to me that I am the happiest photographer she ha ever seen.. I said to her that it was because I was not working and added but quietly that also because consistence of my blood was 80% alcohol.

Warpaint girls are simply very cool!

 Please, don't leave this PENIS unnoticed. Is it just me or is it really wrong? Location I mean...

Butterflies fly... It doesn't really suit him in my opinion but we are in London...

His face, please.. Faccia di cazzo.!

 And there came Pixies for the end of the weekend! And I don't know where my mind was by then... But I felt really well..
