Ted Kennedy Motorcade

Well now that I live in Boston I have easier access to major events. I was lucky to be able to see the Ted Kennedy motorcade. I'm not looking for ANY political discussion here. This is solely photojournalistic, so lets leave the comments at that.

1. A supporter of Kennedy drives ahead of the procession

my vote is that it is NOT jackie-O.

nice coverage. but, i cant believe the old man protester didnt get the beat down. the looks he's getting flashed say it all.

i am not a kennedy fan, but i can tell you i wouldnt be showing up with overt OR sarcastic signs. thats just beggin' for it.

Thanks for the comments.

I believe it's Jean Kennedy Smith actually

See people like you are cool. You may not like, but you're not gonna go out and mess it up for everyone else.

That old guy has been prancing around Boston for decades. He got screamed at many times while he was there. He has zero respect.

Freedom of speech sucks doesn't it?

No, freedom of speach is a GREAT thing.

Sometimes I don't like what I hear, but I will defend to the death their right to say it.

I saw the same old man on Broadway St. for the St. Paddy's Parade...according to his "billboard" then, we're all going to hell...if you believe in his religion, or his cardboard...

I missed the motorcade, as, like many others in town, we were in work....

Yes. We definitely are. And by his reasoning, I'm sure he has done things that will send him there too, but he would never admit that.

Yeah I saw a lot of guys coming out of the surround buildings to see what was happening. It was quite an experience. It helps when you're a college student who hasn't started yet. I have lots of free time!

Of course not. But, when one enters the public square, it cuts both ways.

And, that's the best photo of the bunch.

Yeah, my wife works by congress street, so she peered from the windows of here office...but I am further in town, so no chance for me...

But when it comes to the sporting parades, they come right by me

Nice. We should go out for a city shoot at some point. I live right on Coolidge Corner in Brookline. Not far from anything really.

Give me a shout when you're free, I'll bring my camera into work then...

Nicely shot, Scott. I was hoping someone would have the chance to shoot this and post.

Yeah it was fun!

I re-processed this for B/W. I like it better now
