I hit the streets on Saturday, and maybe you did too.
I charged my batteries and cleared my CF card. I slapped on my favorite lens (my nifty 50, of course) and my rain slicker. I laced up my boots and I set out to capture the day in the most photo journalistic way I knew how. I remembered the words of one of my photography professors who once told us, “If you want interesting photos, put yourself in interesting places….”
And so I did just that on Saturday, the 21st of January, 2017.
What I felt was that day was love.
What I saw were signs (of hope, outrage, and calls for peace and equality).
What I heard were prayers. In the form of song, in the form of music, in the form of chants.

Keep chasing that light, Vanessa
These are brilliant and capture the day and mood perfectly. Thank you so much for sharing them.
Thank you Kirstin. I was proud to be a part of this historic day!
Great captures Vanessa! I really feel like I am in there streets here with you!
Thank you Holly!
You did a great job capturing the day! I went to a gathering here but didn’t take as many photos as I’d planned. For me it was uplifting just to be there.❤️
Thank you Leslie. It felt good to do some street photography like this. Something I haven’t done in a long time.
