Anti-War Protests, Chicago
August 25, 2007 | 12 Shaban 1428
Titus is one of my best friends and probably the closest thing I have to a mentor in photographic terms. I met him by chance while attending photography school in Michigan. He had been invited by my instructor to come and speak to our class. I was really impressed by his work and after his demonstration we struck up a conversation that’s still going till this day. On this occasion, Titus and I met up in Chicago, as I was living in Madison by this point, and we went down to cover the anti-Iraq War protests. Titus mainly shot video of the event and I covered it with my camera. I remember the day vividly as the energy was pretty high amongst the speakers and protesters. I really enjoy shooting these kinds of events as it’s more documentary in feel and you have a chance to interact a bit with the subjects you’re shooting.
