It was an incredibly complex crowd (listen to the audio I just posted) and his images reflect that complexity in its entirety. This is award-worthy work, Jack.

I never thought I'd see this in my lifetime. As marches go, it looks pretty mellow, but at least they weren't too apathetic to do the marching. What was the purpose of the bandannas? Did you get a sense that some people didn't want to be identified? I particularly liked the image of the guy with a V for Vendetta mask. I thought the most poignant message from that film was that there is strength in anonymity. This is incredible. I never thought I’d see this in my lifetime.
