Democratic National Convention – Pre Protests

It’s definily been a crazy, busy day. I start at about 8:30 this morning with the rally at the Capitol Building which is just a few blocks from where I live in downtown Denver. After that I marched with the protestors to the pepsi center taking photos the whole time – I actually even showed up on Fox News! After the Pepsi Center I walked home and took a break already having about 20 gigs worth of photos I went back out and was just about to call it quits when another group tried to take controll of the broadway and colfax intersection and ended up spending another hour photographing. I put in about 8 hours today and am exhausted but as promised here are some of the highlights
