I still have half a roll that I haven't developed yet, and sadly some of my greatest shots on on it. . . like being yelled at by the police.

Great photos!!!! How many people were there????



Just like this from back in the 60's. It's good to see those ones of you're carry on the tradition of being seen.

Wow!

Glory be to all the Gods . . .

Just like '68, only the hair is a little shorter and there are fewer headbands.

Here we go again, only this time I get to be an old man . . .

Thanks, Bo!

a few whiney hippies can change tha world.

that crowd was too clean and passive.

United for Peace and Justice estimated 500,000 people would show up, most sources agree at around 100,000 did show up, and some say less.

e_dog, since agression, violence, and war was kind of what the whole demonstration was addressing, it would kind of make sense that the crowd would tend to be passive. And being around a bunch of smelly people all day isn't too pleasant, so I for one am glad that they weren't that dirty.

However, this isn't all of my pictures. At one point a crowd of thirty rushed the Capitol Building. The half of roll of film I haven't developed yet has some shots of the police coming out in full force. I tried to get a shot of the cop shoving this guy around, but he stopped before I get it in focus. Quite possibly the saddest moment of the weekend. We didn't realize at the time that that group had rushed the Capitol, so it became somewhat confusing when the police shut all the roads down and blocked us in for a bit. And it was probably good we were passive cause I don't like tear gas a whole lot. (Though I was prepared for the ocassion.) From experience, its not fun.

Better than being silent.

A protest without tear gas is like an April without rain.

You might find it pleasant at the time, but later no flowers will bloom.
