Photoblogging from Washington D.C.

Exclusive photos from Washington on today’s anti-war protest from my brother Jason:

heya, folks, fancying myself a photojournalist, I went on out and once again got pictures of a protest in an effort to give my mother a heart attack yet again. She worries too much. Anyways, here’s the best of the bunch.

Of course, I get to determine what “best of the bunch” consists of for the moment.

According to Jason, the protesters peaceably set themselves down outside of Lafayette Square near 17th and H Streets NW in the middle of traffic while police officers watched for about 20 minutes.

After that, DC Police asked them to move. The majority refused, and were promptly hauled off into the van.

While the press is reporting several hundred protesters, Jason says that there were maybe 100, with more onlookers than those protesting.

Taking a look at the picture below, I am counting the die-hards. . . six or seven?

Believe it or not, Jason does have a job. Unfortunately he works a mere block from the White House, so Jason’s penchant for neat things combined with weekly protests makes Kodak very wealthy. You can’t knock him too hard though, Jason was one of the first people in the free world to have pictures of the IMF protests last year and got quite a bit of credit for it.
