Disposable Image

The frontline of the march- my final image.

 This assignment was as challenging as it was engaging. We were to find a news story and capture it with a disposable camera. I chose the annual rally and march in Seattle to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Workshops and a rally were held at Garfield High School and then we marched downtown to the federal building, with a stop at the jail. Thousands came out to support Dr. King with their own dreams of peace in Palestine, immigration reform, jobs not jails and an end to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. 

  It was a challenge to think in terms of straight content and take technology away from the approach. Spotty sun, a moving and expansive subject as well as police kept me scrambling for vantage points and made me approach this project in a way I had never experienced as a photographer.
