freedom of speech in portland

some of a series of images i shot in portland last year during an immigration protest. regardless which side of the issue you rest on, it makes for interesting photography.

Great images. The baby asleep on Daddy's (I assume) shoulder is my favorite.

The last one says it all.

My favorites....

#1. Although it has nothing to do with freedom of speech.

ocp, your mediocrity is better than you give yourself credit for.

i agree about the eyes. maybe a little dodging in that area will fix it.

and, of course the man and his boy have nothing to do with freedom of speech, they just happened to be in the parade.

thanks, all, for looking!

Thank you

Great PJ work of a timely issue. Thanks for sharing!

Very nice series. I actually saw some of these scenes on local TV here. Nice PJ work for sure.

I really like the hand lettered sign on the back of the T-shirt (illegal border jumpers...) positioned in front of the left lane must turn left sign. Only in Portland!

I'm really glad I live across the river in Washington. Not that we don't have our issues.

i have to say, i respect that guy for having the sack to go down there and exercise HIS right to freedom of speech. he was the only one speaking for the oposition, and he basically had his own police escort. and with his kids there, too! gnarly.

It's not the place for a right-wing conservative. I'm not even sure the police would have protected him if the need arose.

Nice set of images on your gallery too, very nice.

As a "Righty" I hope that is not true, as a cop I know it is not true.

right wing, left wing, or just trying to find an intelligent place in the middle, portland is one of my favorite cities. i get there whenever i can!

Schumaker Furs may beg to differ with you. Certainly not the beat cop but rather city policies for their conduct I think.
