Beautiful advice:
"One day you will be called on to break a big law in the name of justice and rationality. Everything will depend on it. You have to be ready. How are you going to prepare for that day when it really matters? You have to stay ‘in shape’ so that when the big day comes you will be ready. What you need is #anarchist calisthenics....

Pride Walk – Roze Maandag, Tilburg Kermis (Part 4)
“Born This Way”

In a world where being yourself isn’t always safe, accepted, or even allowed, Pride Walks like this one matter more than ever. They offer visibility, solidarity, and celebration to those whose identities are often silenced.

I’m proud to live in a country where we embrace the beauty of diversity — where no matter your skin color, body type, religion, or heritage, your identity deserves respect and joy. Pride is not just for the LGBTQIA+ community; it is for everyone who believes in freedom of expression and equality. Even if you’re straight — you’re welcome to walk, support, learn, and celebrate. That’s how we build inclusive societies: together.

The portraits in this post — taken with my Canon 5D Mark III and Sigma 100–400mm lens — capture just a few of the powerful, beautiful individuals who walked with pride, dignity, and color. The wide shots, from my Canon 7D Mark II and 15–85mm lens, show just how many hearts and banners filled the streets. And yes, the city was awash in pink — and it was perfect.

Because no one should ever have to hide who they are.

Pride Walk – Roze Maandag, Tilburg Kermis (Part 2)
Young and Old, With Smiles and Pride

Part 2 of my Roze Maandag series brings you into the heart of the Pride Walk — a moving celebration of love, visibility, and community that began at Tilburg Central Station.

Though the official start was at 14:00, the first participants arrived hours earlier, ready to make their presence known. As the parade began to move through the city, so did I — sprinting ahead again and again to capture fresh angles (seven times in total, with 12.5 kg on my back and two cameras strapped to my front… safe to say, I felt it in my legs later).

In this set, you’ll find a wide-angle shot showing the sheer scale of the event — a long, beautiful river of rainbow flags and waving hands. One photo captures three generations of women — young, middle-aged, and elderly — each radiating pride in her own way. Along the route, bystanders paused, smiled, clapped, or stood in amazed silence. Even those not walking became part of the moment.

Pride is not just for the young or for one group — it's for everyone who believes in dignity, visibility, and love without conditions. That message walked right through the streets of Tilburg yesterday.
