Womens Health rally on the National Mall
I love protests. Truth is, regardless of what people are protesting about, I love photographing the excitement, the signs, and the passion people bring to their rallies. Working just a few steps from the National Mall, I have many opportunities to get down there and capture some of the spirit. It's a double bonus when the rally is about something I believe in.
The conservative movement in Congress has been waging a fight against womens health recently and it's up to regular old women (and men) to put a stop to it. You can sign a petition and find out more information right here.
After attending the rally, though, I'm not the least bit worried about womens health in America. Planned Parenthood got something like six Congressmen up on the stage to speak - even as our government prepares to shut down. That's a big deal. Now, without further ado, the images:
George and John:
Austin:
And here's Sai, proving that sometimes it is better to be behind the camera.
And, like I said, there were babies. Okay, one baby. But a baby cute enough to equal the attention-grabbingness of four babies.
And I'll just put out there publicly that I am so grateful that it is finally starting to warm up. I always feel like winter drags on and on but we're finally seeing temperatures hang around in the 50s during the day and I am *so excited* that summer is on the way! I'm pumped for all my upcoming photography sessions too! Warm weather = great times outdoors = great portraits. Good times all around.
