19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
People in the Streets

A photo captured at a protest in Pittsburgh. The photo shows protestors and activists marching through a city block downtown. I believe the process of capturing protest photos is delicate; it is not about the photographer or creating an artistic shot. It must be authentic and not detract from the purpose of activism or turned into a personal showcase. Additionally, I tried my best to omit as many faces as possible, hence why it is shot from the back.
