In retrospect, I wish I'd gone inside with my camera. I wasn't protesting, after all. I was present in my role as a (very very small time) professional freelance photojournalist. No press pass, but I do have a card (and I'm going to have an even nicer card soon.) It's important for me to remember that the camera isn't a wall between myself and my subjects.
Still, it was hard while standing out there in the cold with these people who were so angry for me to form the thought that I could walk up those stairs and just go in.
Saturday was very political in downtown Boston. Cindy Sheehan spoke in The Commons and James Dobson of Focus on the Family came to preach just a few blocks away at The Tremont Temple Baptist Church.
