On the road again
Half the fun of going to an event in DC is getting there, walking around, and getting home.
There was a conference going on for conservatives ... but there were also opportunities for those who are anything but.
Lafayette Park, across from the White House, is a fantastic place to get a sense of the disgruntled. This depicts the tail end of the anti-war protests from the past weekend.
Everyone was gathered to photograph three young ladies posing as statues representing the deaths caused by the current battle in Iraq.
There is a lot to protest about these days, if one has a hankerin' to protest.
On the way home, I got some cools shots of the Potomac River in Great Falls.
I think, technically, the following establishes me as an artist. Whether "bad" or "good" artist I don't care. As long as I can take photographs of rocks and receive decent treatment from civil society.
And of course no visit to DC would be complete without paying homage to Andrew Gallatin.

Are those ladies a set of triplets? What's the one in the business suit supposed to be?
So it's TRUE about the Republican connection to Bonus Cards!
Isn't that weird? I could not figure it out and I was 10 feet away from them. Maybe they had some kind of make up on, but it sure looked like they were triplets.
I declare them triplets. Now, tell me what the one is doing in a business suit!
Also, every time I open that picture of the Bonus Card rant, I want to click on "Steal Food" and "Needless Forms" because those sound like a hell of a good story.
Good question; I guess the business suit represents American or other civilians that have been killed in Iraq? --
No, here's what I think it is. The business suit represents those killed on 9-11 - the number on the forehead is the number killed then.
The soldier represents our soldiers killed in Iraq - a slightly higher number.
The arab woman represents the civilians killed in Iraq, a much higher number and correspondingly larger flow of "blood."
Pretty powerful little demonstration.
The guy who owned the signs kept walking away from me; I should have pursued him because it likely would have been a very memorable conversation.
Nice. Good attention to detail. I thought she looked awfully dusty.
It's a nice set of pics, I think I might be able to find an old one in similar vein, just a liiiiittle different. I'll let you know if I do ;)
Wasn't a National Review conference a great place to view the disgruntled as well?
William Buckley won't save ya'll now that your Decider is driving the party straight to hell in a manual transmission car and he only knows automatic.
Crap,they'll stall out before they make it to hell.
