Arms flung wide
Just hours after the United States Supreme Court announced its historic rulings on gay marriage, a man shares his happiness with a Hare Krishna band. In context, it made a lot of sense.

This is a very good shot, and proof that you are not just a street photographer – of pavement I mean.
It makes me wonder what the Hare Krishna’s would think of gay marriage. The joy of photography, that it raises questions one would never otherwise ask.

Thanks, Ehpem.
The Hare Krishnas were inscrutable.

In addition to this man’s exuberant expression, the NOH8 shirt is a good reminder of what this photo means. As far as street photos go, this is perfect.

I was lucky: Without the tshirt guy, this would have been just any other tourist photo of Hare Krishnas on the boardwalk. And without that particular tshirt, the man would have just looked crazy.
