Great images, well

Great images, well covered.
Nice to see a journo covering the whole event and not a 'hit and run' job.
In my home town we often see news 'togs' arrive take a couple of pics and leave, then miss more than a couple of great news images.

Using deadlines as an excuse is in fact not an excuse.

It seems there will be many other similar protests, as there are some new campaigns pro marriage equality movement and The American Foundation for Equal Rights has filed a federal equal protection suit to overturn Prop 8 and marriage bans everywhere. Have your camera ready. :) I wish I was there for covering these events too.

Great photos! Love the
