The people at the London march were overwhelmingly "average".   I would say
the majority were thirty and upward, polite, unassuming and rather
unphotogenic.  I went looking for unusual people or scuffles to photograph.
With the exception of one picture, my stuff is unrepresentative.

attempt toward objectivity.
