i had a great time with my camera during the Democratic Convention in 
Denver two years ago; lots of cops and fences and crowds and signs; cops 
were okay with cameras here though


your images in this set are almost abstract; hope there's no trouble for

Although Toronto likes to think it is the center of everything, apparently 
the tremor was epicentred near Ottawa.
A friend's daughter was in an office tower that was swaying enough to scare
