I was there, and that crowd was huge, that crowd was massive. And the photos in both the mainline and alternative press are always of individuals...and never gives a picture of the sheer mass of humanity that was there. It's like being in a vast forest, and taking pictures only of individual trees....you never get a sense of the thousands and thousands (and thousands and thousands) of people who were there...from these and other pix's it could have been a demo of only a hundred...rather than the hundreds of thousands of people who were there.
Someone should go up on the planter, climb the light pole, go to the 2nd story and get the pixs that show the crowd as a whole, and capture how how massive the event really was...or it will never get recorded, and it will never be known....it's like the articles that say "more than a thousand at the demonstration"...not a lie..but not the truth.... Again, I'm talking about the politics, and not the art of these (and other) photos (they're great).
Politically, these and the other photo's that I've seen are not lies...but they don't capture the real size of the demonstration (and in that regard, they're not the truth).

Thanks to Chris for her first batch of pics - and hope to see more from other Chicagoans who marched on S24. The more the merrier.

I too was there, am working on my twenty rolls of film. I'll see how my 'massive crowd shots' turned out. Light posts just weren't high enough and I could find few opportunities aside from being at the bottom of one of the streets that was angled downward.
Anyway, it was incredible, a lot of people.

...And again: it's not the art of these pix's, which is great...
It's the politics.

Watched corporate media coverage and it was, well, pathetic. They downplayed the march A LOT. Great to see the massive turnout, the diverse crowd, and the messages displayed. Thanks.

They are at "Protest News":

There are many more, plus links to many articles. Are you all aware that there were Demonstrations in nearly 30 cities around the world? You wouldn't be if you listen to corp. media.
