They can't even post their own photos. They have to STEAL them.

They linked to HERE: http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/gallery/2009/09/912-dc.php?img=1

That guy has been sucking at the public trough his whole life.

While he disparages it, of course.

why pay for your own bandwidth when you can set a link and have someone else stream them?

TPM could have some fun with this, put up sarcastic commentary or muppet photos for the crowd.

That's awesome. It's amazing how many people are making money off of these fools. Maybe he does know what a "teabagger" really is, after all.

Wow, it's such a treat to get to learn the stories behind some of these pics. Thanks.

Speaking of stories, did you see this thread:

huge assed gaps in the seats. All pushed forward and not even all those seats are filled. Look especially top and left, and 8 rows up in middle section. Then smattering of empty seats around. This is the attendance enthusiasm their heavy hitters garnish? Bwah haa haa haa

We'll basically ridicule anything.

If it pertains to pictures of teabaggers, it's irresistible.

But really, you figure FreedomWorks would've uploaded some of their own pics.

Here's hoping they do. :evilgrin:

If you can get some pics tomorrow of misspelled signs, you could be elevated to god status around here. Those are our favorites. They are almost holy to us.

If you saw my photos from the Tea Party last April, you might have noticed that some of the signs can get quite creative. Most of the protesters are extroverts and love to have their pictures taken.

35. crowd
In the morning they had what they called a Liberty Summit at the DC Armory. The announced crowd was 800. I think that was accurate. You get an idea from the photos.
At 1 PM there was a 'press conference' on the Senate Lawn - maybe a few hundred.
The speeches were fairly predictable - the usual diatribe. Some of the crowd mimicked Rep Wilson's famous words. This was essentially a prelude to tomorrow where the crowds will be much larger.

It will be interesting to see.

Thanks for your overview.

Did you hear about the bomb scare today at Freedom Works' headquarters in DC? Any mention of that during the events today or amongst the crowd?

Yeah . . . funny how that works there, muffin. :eyes: :eyes: :eyes:

What if I told these schmucks that over 70% of the current National Debt was rung up by three REPUBLICAN presidents, or that the largest expansions of government happened on REAGAN and BUSH II's watches, or that the largest economic collapses in this nation's history occurred almost entirely under the watches of REPUBLICAN presidents?

Would their heads spin or would they spin THAT somehow?

69. I think that the blonde has never had to go to bed hungry; otherwise
she wouldn't be stupid enough to hold up a sign saying she'd rather go hungry than see the debt rise. Clue to idiot, we are already in debt.. thanks to the last President and the go along Republicans.. they spent on wars and shit we couldn't afford, and didn't do a thing to actually make the country better for Americans. They spent all that money, and no one can tangibly touch what they spent that money on. I believe food costs less than bombs anyday. Idiots... and holding a sign made up by Dick Armey's organization.. a man who clearly has never gone without food a day in his life.

46. Photojournalists trick number 42
If the crowd is small, really small - shoot everything very tight. Use a telephoto lens to compress space and make the group look thicker than it really is - and what ever you do NEVER pull out and shoot at a wide angle focal length so people can see the "crowd" is only twelve people long...

I'm glad he's here the photos are fun to look at, but as a photographer I don't need to ask many questions - I can usually tell the focal length used by the look of the photo.

I don't mean to sound at all insulting, that's how we teach PJs to shoot this stuff.

Mostly I will be taking pictures of individual protesters and speakers. The size of the crowd is less interesting to me than the makeup of the crowd. Also look for a bunch of kids carrying signs from their parents (its not a school day).

61. The makeup of the crowd is interesting, no doubt
But, in this case, considering the event, at least one photo depicting, as accurately as possible, the size of the crowd is warranted, imho. History shows that the sizes of anti-war protests in DC were grossly underestimated by our M$M, for example. I think it would be important for trusted blog sites, such as TPM, to accurately present the turnout, in the event that FreedomWorks et al attempts to exaggerate their numbers. After all, M$M is not a reliable in these matters.

67. Actually...
I think the one shot of of the folks sitting in the bleachers helps give an idea of crowd size - but shooting tight and wide should provide you with some great options.

58. I looked at each picture. They ar ALL white. Every one.
Now the hired entertainer from Vegas I saw in the videos earlier was black, but he was, you know, "the help".

59. faces
I took the pictures. You make the most important point. When reviewing all the photos I noticed one Asian face. The rest appeared to be Caucasion.

83. Apparently this "grass roots" movement has no volunteers
And the paid staff don't include a photographer. I'm surprised they didn't think to hire one.
