All in Protest
To commemorate the anniversary of the election that brought Donald J. Trump to power for a second time, several groups held a rally on the National Mall near the Washington Monument on November 5th, 2025. Somewhere between 500 and 1,000 joined together, many dressed in fanciful costumes inspired by the demonstrators in Portland, Oregon. The group then marched to the Capitol and the U.S. Supreme Court. Here are my thoughts about the demonstration and the images that I captured.
Members of the Tigray diaspora held a march in Washington, D.C. on November 4, 2024 to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the Tigray genocide in Ethiopia. The group marched to the White House, and then headed to the National Mall for a memorial service. Here are my thoughts about and images from the solemn event.
October 31 came and went. For three hours, the streets of New York City were filled with ghouls and cultural icons as tens of thousands of participants marched up 6th Avenue during the annual Village Halloween Parade. Here are my thoughts and plenty of my images from this wonderful spectacle.
A trip to Paris is always an enjoyable experience. In October 2025, I made yet another trip, revisiting Notre Dame de Paris, the Pantheon, La Villette, and the Canal Saint-Martin. Here is Part I of a multi-part article that includes my thoughts and images from my journey.
On July 17, 2025, I attended the Good Trouble Lives On demonstration in Philadelphia. Its focus was on civil and human rights, which is appropriate given the nod to the late civil rights icone and Congressman John Lewis’ pet phrase, “Good Trouble.” Here are my thoughts about and images from the demonstration.
Saturday, I attended Donald J. Trump’s parade honoring the U.S. Army’s 250th Birthday, which just so happened to coincide with Trump’s 79th birthday. Here are my thoughts about and images from what is best characterized as Trump’s Folly.
Last Saturday, before Donald J. Trump’s $45 million dollar 79th birthday bash (i.e., military parade), I covered a Refuse Fascism rally and march that ended within “sight and sound” of the White House. Here are my thoughts about and images from the event.
During the four days preceding Donald J. Trump’s military parade celebrating the U.S. Army’s 250th Birthday and his 79th birthday, I spent considerable time walking the streets of Washington, D.C. (when I was not on Capitol Hill advocating for Ukraine). Assuming the role of street photographer, I captured demonstrations, press conferences and other First Amendment activity. Here are my thoughts about and images of the many delights I encountered.
