Watching a Protest March
04:42Aloha friends, shock horror it's another photography post! As much as I adore them I always feel like I ought to balance them out with written stuff, so suggestions for chats and what not are welcome, but last weekend I went along to a protest and took my camera... you know what's coming...
I was given a leaflet/flyer by my good pal Steph, saying there was a protest against Trump's Muslim ban and against May's support of it. Now, to be honest, I don't keep up with the news and least of all politics, it confuses me so I'm never sure what's going on but hey I'm blissfully ignorant and happy to just do me. I don't want you to have a debate in the comments (who comments anyway lol) or try to make you think one way or another, I simply just want to show my documentation of an event :)
I'm going to caption some of these images with chants from the event and some quotes I managed to remember from the speakers who voiced their opinions, many of which expressed the need to protest and speak out, to show Trump what he is doing is unacceptable to these people.
The number of people there apparently doubled throughout the event, their passion was admirable as they all came together, all ages and backgrounds to argue for the same reason. It was a new experience for me not only to take my camera into town just to photograph alone for an afternoon, but to attend an event like this and see it happen for myself. I felt brave for taking myself along and was proud not only for going but also of the images I got out of it, I keep looking back at them I love them so much!
