gazacrazy

I'm a little behind with this post, but a couple weeks ago I covered a protest in downtown Burlington in opposition to the recent air strikes by Israeli forces against the Gaza strip. The "usual crew" of local activists appeared as they marched from Rep. Peter Welch's office to Sen. Leahy's to Sen. Bernie Sanders offices asking for their reaction and plan regarding the recent air strikes. The crowd swelled and grew with every stop and the weather got colder...and colder. I couldn't believe the wind whipping off the lake that night - it was unbearable. But, people showed and even a dude on crutches hobbled across Main St. to get in on the action. It's hard to pull unique images from a protest unless something unexpected happens, especially in Burlington where we all seem to know each other and the faces are very familiar. I thought the setting sun worked to my advantage as I liked the light in some of these shots. Enjoy.
