ADDITIONAL NOTES:

above, a mix of images from two candlelight vigils: one large unorganized assembly in union square and one more somber and intimate in madison square park. both groups of demonstrators, exhausted from a long week of republicans advertising our tragedy for their gain, gathered to protest the presence of the RNC in new york city and george w. bush's bid at a second term.

They were wrong. A picture is worth a thousand emotions. The first picture is so incredibly moving and brings it all home.

I love pictures in candlelight. Especially when they are shot properly exposed. Great job Jenn. Your portrait picture taking with the new lens is breathtaking.

You exposures have gotten much better as of late. Do you attribute that to the new lens or some new post processing technique?

Great set, all your shots of the protests have been great. I haven't seen any others on the web that seem to capture the mood and atmosphere as well as yours do.

I was part of this protest as it marched from 19th street up to near Madison Square Garden. Your picutres beautifully capture the diversity of race, age, gender and background of the particpants as well as our message. Thanks.

I was forwarded these by a friend. They are wonderful stills of some patriotic Americans. I am happy to see the particpation of so many young faces, but saddened when realizing that such young faces need be so serious. Your camera captured the need to bring back their youthful smiles. Excellent work.

All of the above and more. Great pictures! Im touched and moved. I especially like the way you have captured the woman holding up the recruiter poster - the expression in her face just says it all!

The protest has been initiated for the noble course. People really want a difference to be made in their present situation and this is the reason that they had put up the protest. I would also like to show my agreement to this. http://www.howtostopsnorings.com
