no kings
I attended Charlottesville’s “No Kings” protest last month, less as a participant than as observer. I brought a few cameras along: a Crown Graphic to shoot large format, a Leica M4-P to shoot a few frames of 35mm, and a Leica M10-D for when I ran out of film. Ordinarily, it is a little hard to distinguish the difference between formats on a phone or tablet screen, but the large format photos stand out for their sharpness and clarity.
As for the protest itself, it was big — with about 5,000 people out on the streets — and lively. A lot of people, here and around the country, are furious with the administration, and they’re desperate for anyone to show actual political leadership. I think the politician to grasp this, whoever it is, will be on the fast track to national office.
Anyway, here are the photos! As always, let me know what you think.
