Well, I went out to a "Bring the Troops Home" protest on Veterans Day. While I was out there, I got to talk to the local Newspaper photographer and found out that he started out doing photography as a hobby too. Looks like there is hope for me.
The protest was a very small one that took place on a street corner. I would say that there are about 25 people there, and everyone who was there was well behaved. I think part of the reason for that is a lot of the crowd was veterans or people who had family in Iraq.
