Drag Queens & Sheila Dixon
I took out the camera for Baltimore Pride and got a few good snaps. I don’t know why I always forget to change the exposure setting when I am shooting in bright daylight. That’s why some of these look a bit washed out. There’s a nice clean quality about them that I like, so it doesn’t bother me at all.
MIss Ada Buffet. I can’t remember what her title is but I know she was Miss Trailer Trash one year.
I loved watching this queen. She was really enjoying herself…she was sooo happy, but she had a hard time taking direction. I had to tell her where to stand about five times before she came close enough to where I was saying.
I got all up in Sheila Dixon’s face for this one. She relaxed for the photo then, “Why are you so close??!” One of her people then said, “Old school Polaroid.”
This girl looked so interesting leaning against this wall…almost comically tragic. When I asked to take her photo, she couldn’t stop smiling and I haven’t had to tell someone not to smile so many times as I had to tell her.
