The first album is a collection of pictures I took last Saturday at the HUGE march for peace in San Francisco. Police estimated the crowd at 40,000 - a hilarious underestimate. Consider that Memorial Stadium in Lincoln holds only 76,000 people. Consider that the Pride Parade in San Francisco consists of 1 Million people each year. The march started at 11am at the Ferry Building and continued down Market Street to the Civic Center. I woke up at 12:30 that morning. Jay and I then went to coffee, then went to have breakfast (OK brunch!)... and then walked over to 7th and Market streets at around 2pm, where the march was STILL continuing down Market Street, with no end in sight.
A conservative estimate of the size of the crowd would be 200,000 - I would say it easily rivaled the Pride Parade, and was easily 500,000 people strong. This is important to note, I think, because the rediculous estimate of 40,000 people only serves to downplay the amount of anti-war sentiment that was present (to those who were not there)...
Apparently, this has caused a bit of controversy:
Protest Numbers Don't Add UpAnyway, the photos turned out really good!
