Ian -- There are a couple of ironies in the photo. The major irony is the way the protest signs blend into the other ads. A minor one is that the biggest sign is for Fox News, Fox being a Bush-friendly broadcast channel. The protestors were chanting, "Fox News sucks."

That billboard seems to be advertising a soap powder of sorts. (sic)

Whatever one's politics, the convention will make for some great photo-ops.

The lag time is definitely a detriment for capturing the decisive moment. All the same, the colors are electric in this shot.
I wonder if I will bump into you while I'm in NYC. I will be lugging a small blue Lowe Pro waist pack with my Nikon N65 and probably perspiring profusely in the humidity.

I'd better not make any comments that could be construed as political. I did come to the conclusion that I'll never again try to use a Canon S-50 (or -60 or -70) for this kind of work. I got plenty of pictures of my feet, the sidewalk, the sky, etc, since the camera seems to take the shutter release as a hint or suggestion rather than a command to open release the shutter NOW. Delay was often at least half a second.

So, what was it like to be in the midst of all this, Leslie?
