I took these two pictures (stitched together in PhotoStudio) from the bus I was riding to school today. I don't know what the protest was about. The red sign is saying "all religions believe in justice." The protest took place at Blue Island and 14th, next to Testa Produce (wholesale produce I guess), in this area between new developments and old projects, the area full of empty lots, wire fences, dilapidated buildings, old warehouses being turned into condos, etc. A strange place for a protest of any kind. One thing is for sure, it was not related to the International Day of Women, which is today.
My digital camera, by the way, cost 10 bucks, it's the size of a matchbox, and it doesn't have that thing through which you look in order to frame whatever you're trying to photograph. That's next to trying to take a pic blindfolded. So the pics, taken from a moving bus (it was moving slowly, granted) are fucking great.

One of my saddest realities regarding Int'l Women's Day: the U.S. continues to ignore this wonderful day as people all over the world are celebrating the achievements of women and recognizing the continued struggles for equality. Pity.
i should also say that this is a fantastic camera. green with envy.
It looks like a "lock out" to me. Where a business locks its workers out, so they can't go to work. They can't earn money or sabotage equipment. It's a preemptive strike against organized labor.
s., can you tell me a bit more about that?
