Washington D.C. on September 24th, 2005

L: A group of protestors in front
of their van on Constitution Avenue an hour before the demonstration.
R: Camp Casey (Cindy Sheehan).
Rows and rows of crosses, and a dozen or so pairs of military boots.
Flowers and pictures of dead soldiers are propped up around the camp.
It's a very sobering tribute. Later in the day, this area would be
swamped with people. |

 |
|
L: The crowd is starting to
gather on the ellipse in front of the Whitehouse where the stage is set up for
the rally before the march. R:
Michael, Tam and Ang. Michael is a professor at a Jesuit university in
San Fran. We met him on the Metro on the way to the march. Very
cool - he teaches Ethics of all things. |

|
L: Jon Stewart for President
2008; this woman rocks. R: 11:30AM,
and the crowd is swelling. People in stilts and creative signs and flags
everywhere. |
 |
|
|
L: Another picture looking
back on the Washington monument. R:
"Keep Your Laws off my Fucking Body" - Awesome woman.... |
 |
 |
|
L: Rock on, guys.
R: Really crowded now, 12:30PM. |
 |
 |
|
L: Me and Tam showing our
support. R: Franciscans for Peace. |
 |
 |
|
L: Cute couple who I asked
to pose for a picture. R: Another beautiful
family for peace. |
 |
 |
|
L: Me posing w/ a Catholic
priest. Unfortunately, I didn't catch his name, but I was so humbled by
the fact that he was there (among others). R:
An interesting group of protestors - their sign was very poignant. |
 |
 |
|
L: Here we are starting the
march. They were still giving speeches up at the stage, but the mass of
over 100,000 people wanted to move and march. I have the rest on video -
it's just so hard to explain the feeling of that many people gathered in one
place for the purpose of peace. R: A
drummer and her entourage. We followed them for awhile in the march.
