It certainly helped make the point about your impressions of the types of people there. Very nice photos indeed - some of those low shots of the people with large costumes on are great. In response to your observations in the video, I can't say that my impressions in Chicago were the same as yours were a year ago in SF. I went to the outer edges of the rally to get the portraits of the people in the series I shared. There were a good number of young people yelling stupid things to the police and there was a large number of people trying to get the communists to leave - all this while people were speaking on stage. The people I tried to shoot were mostly those who aren't "Professional protestors", if you catch my meaning, but they had been pushed out to the edges unfortunately. Some seemed very uncomfortable by the way the police had surrounded the plaza, I told one elderly woman that the police officers were very nice and just doing their hob, if she wanted to leave all she had to do was ask to cross and they would certainly allow her to. She did, and of course the officers allowed her to leave. Overall though I saw a very fractured demonstration.
