Photographers' Protest

3 or 4 weeks ago I attended a photography protest outside the New Scotland Yard in Westminster. They recently changed the law that now prohibits journalists and other photographers from taking pictures of the police. It's more complicated than that, of course, but people got all upset and decided to state a peaceful protest outside the police building.
I decided to stop by and see what was going on. Mainly it was just a bunch of people with cameras taking photos of pretty much everything.
Some of the protesters were quite young. Hee hee. This fellow was sitting on his dad's shoulders snapping away with quite an expensive camera. He seems to have a good handle of it.
More than anything it was amusing to see tourist buses drive by and watch the tourists go nuts because they assumed that we were taking photos of a celebrity or something, when it fact we were snapping away at nothing at all.

It was quite a boring protest, in fact, and I'm not sure it acomplished anything, but it was neat to see all the differnt cameras people had.

Now you've been caught up on all my photo-excursions over the past month or so, over the next week or so expect lots more posting!
