Demonstration in opposition to Sheriff Joe Arpaio
Demonstration in opposition to Sheriff Joe Arpaio
Latinos, both legal and illegal, marched from downtown Phoenix to a remote location used by the Sheriff to detain individuals before deporting them to their countries of origin. The group was protesting against what they perceive to be civil-rights violations by the Sheriff's office and the Sheriff himself. Zack de la Rocha, singer for the band Rage Against the Machine, marched behind the lead banner. On completing the march the demonstrators were met by counter protestors and at one point the Sheriff himself.

They were colorful and I was tempted to run with that color. I'm shooting in R+J so I've got the colors, but I've committed to "shooting" in BW as much as possible. I feel like I see more.

Great pictures. Some of the dress and signs appear that they would be quite colorful.
Oh man, I hadn't dug deep enough to see that all submissions should be in color. Henceforth, I will shoot/submit in standard color.
