About the Contributor & Piece
Maryn Anderson (she/her) is an English major in the Teacher Education track. She has been taking photographs since she was 14. Taking photos has always been a way to both preserve memories as well as interpret the world around her.
“The photo I submitted was one I took while at NYC Pride back in June. The heat was stifling, and I paid way too much for sunscreen from a nearby CVS. Yet despite the dehydration and the sweat that coated my skin and kept the strap of my camera practically glued to my neck, it filled me with joy to see so many people both young and old in attendance. I think it spoke volumes on the spirit of queer pride.” -Maryn Anderson
The Age of Pride was taken 35mm film with a Canon EOS Rebel G.
