Our nation's capital is rife with marches, protests and rallies. I usually make a point of staying far from them . But on Saturday we were assigned the task of shooting the goings-on downtown. And it was definitely a fascinating way to be a part of the many movements. So my little photo gang spent 6ish hours chasing and walking backwards and snapping people in the act of protest. Needless to say it was REALLY HARD! Composing a photo is even tougher when your subjects have legs.

800+ images later these are the ones I turned in to the instructor.
