The People's March in photos and video
At the People’s March yesterday, along with drawing, I took photos and videos. Photography has been a passion of mine since I would young and I have recently begun carrying my camera with me again. The iPhone camera is great, but there is something about having an actual camera around my neck that feels different. Taking photograhs provides an alternate view of what I’m seeing; live-drawing is more contemplative, quieter, and a slower observation of what is happening. Both are valuable, as I see it.
I want to share some of my camera observations with you.
Above is a short clip from the live-drawing live broadcast I did with Kate Woodsome. She interviewed people as I drew them. You can read her insights and observations from our day together, here. Kate and her team (one other person) won a Pulitzer Prize for their on-site coverage of the January 6th insurection. The full video of our broadcast is on my newsletter from yesterday, as well as on hers from today.
Thanks for being here, see you tomorrow.
Funny how many people were out in the cold when Trump brought the inauguration indoors.
These photos brought me to tears. I pray the people can make a difference.
Beautiful Lisa. Please post more pictures! I totally agree about the feeling of a camera around your neck vs clutching a phone in hand. And these shots are as good or better than many I’ve seen by dedicated photographers. They capture the feel of the march and the humanity of the participants. And the little snsps of color here and there are key features to draw in my attention. So glad you posted these. Can’t wait to see what you get tomorrow.
