I forwarded an article from portside on Arnold's 'reasoning' - it's more
horrifying than I thought. - Alan

Thanks! I wanted to rush this into availability while the emotional
wounds surrounding the issue were still fresh, so I didn't put much
effort into figuring out an optimal compression scheme for it. Sorry
about that, I'll try and deal with the matter tomorrow and make it more
user friendly if I can. I usually use Quicktime to make a nice small
Slideshow from the stills, but this one kept crashing Quicktime for
some reason.
I do like to focus on images at events like this that are not the
pictures one usually sees and that the hundreds of other pro and
amateur photographers who were there are most likely to take. I figure
that they will do the job of capturing the typical stock imagery that
makes the newspaper front pages, leaving me to deal with more subtle
and complex relationships among the various conflicting agendas: the
protesters, media, cops, bystanders, residents, etc. Which is not to
say that I don't have my own up-front point of view that I bring to the
event, which in this case is firmly anti-death penalty. What a deeply
barbaric place we are that this kind of activity still exists in the
richest country in the world. It literally turns my stomach whenever we
pass through one of these horrific rituals nowadays. Maybe the photos
are a way of exorcising my pain, or at least giving it a place to go.

an incredible eye. I wish we were there... - Alan

I have a few dozen photos from this that I took at the protest in SQ
last night. It may take me a couple of days before I can process
them,
in case anybody cares.
