I don't mean to clog up the forum with pictures of me, but ...

This photo shows me wearing a DU bumper sticker on my shirt. So I had to show it to the photo group.

This was taken by Dean Lautermilch, a South Florida photographer who photographs every protest down here, whether it be about the war, Alito or the Chinese communist party. I had the DU bumper sticker on my shirt because I was hoping to meet other Miami DUers, but I didn't meet any that day.

Here is a link to Dean's other photos from that day, which will lead you to all the protests he has shot.

Here are a couple I took that day. What do you guys think about us having an antiwar protest photo challenge for the third year anniversary this March? I can't even remember if we did that this year.

1. I love the idea of protest photos contest!

I don't think we should limit it to anti-war, though. There's so much more to protest! Personally, I have protest/rally shots from gay rights rallies, pro-choice rallies, a DSM rally, and anti-war rallies. So I'm in for that.

Or, we could just have a photo contest of DU photographers wearing DU bumper stickers at protests. Here's my entry for that contest:

(Although BlueInAK gets the photo credit for this shot of me in DC. :hi:)

2. I thought that was a familiar-looking photo. :-)

Going to DC in September was worth it if for no other reason than meeting you guys. (Including you, Raging, and CC, of course.)

I meant "you guys" -- ITF and UsedToBeSick and your sister -- and "you," Raging in Miami (since it's his thread), and of course CC. (And anybody else I left out.) I LOVE UsedToBeSick. He's FABulous. Please don't let him think I left him out. Damn punctuation...........

I'm looking forward till we all get together again and drink beer. By the way, your photos don't come up in this thread.
