Rally for Andrew Meyer sign: Taze Pigs

That’s right! I’m officially a published photographer now, and a CNN.com photoseries is not too shabby for a first by-line.

This was a picture I took on a whim at the Rally for Andrew Meyer
which you can find out about here and here.

It’s interesting to read all this stuff online about Andrew because he’s actually a distant friend of mine.

Without saying anything about how I feel about anything that happened, his character, or his politics — he’s always been a really nice guy to me.

ADDENDUM (September 20th):

Here’s some of the large versions of the pictures that I sent in that did or didn’t get posted

This is my favorite picture. After a little creative post-production, the guy holding the sign looks almost pasted in it’s surreal. I also like his sign, “The Truth’sOn Youtube” [sic]… If the truth is a 14 year old girl lip-syncing to a Hillary Duff song, then yes, the truth is definitely on Youtube about 500 times.

Jesse!

Jesse!

Asia!

Asia!

It's Skeet!

It’s Skeet!


Another sign that says, “Youtube = Truth”… Did everyone crib sign ideas from each other before the protest.

I wonder if these pictures would stand up to real “journalistic scrutiny”. I’m not even really sure what that means.
