Supporters of Healthcare Reform in Seattle
In the spirit of getting caught. Just thought that I would post a few photos from an assignment last week. I shot demonstrators outside the Westin Hotel in downtown Seattle. Demonstrating is right up there with drinking coffee as a favorite past time of Seattlites. This one though was a bit smaller, perhaps because it was in the morning or because it was raining. Some were members of the tea party, protesting healthcare reform in the form of a public option and the other contingent were supporting healthcare reform. Why the Westin? Mr. Vice President ‘Smilin’ Joe Biden was in town to attend fundraiser for Sen. Patty Murray on his way to the Winter Olympics. It was a private event and no photographers were allowed, so I made pictures of the Veep and then had to wait for him to leave. Note to self: don’t park so close to the hotel were the Veep (or any such person is staying) if I want leave in a timely manner. First the picture of the supporters of healthcare:
and a photo of a protetor, who at one point claimed to be Al Gore.
