Like Keith, my favorites also change constantly to the point that it's hard for me to admit that something is my favorite. It all changes with my mood, mindset, food in my belly, hours of sleep, etc. So, I just looked through some of the photos I shot this past week during the DNC in Denver. I had spent some time building a relationship with a group of anarchists from Denver and spent the convention covering them as well as other protesters.
This image was taken on Monday night, during the protest with dozens of arrests. This is before the police pepper sprayed the group for the second time. During the second standoff I was between the line of police and the line of anarchists. As the standoff ensued, the sun burst through a gap in the buildings lighting a small portion of the anarchists with soft orange light.
I don't necessarily like this image because of certain 'elements' that people look for in photos but because of the way it makes me feel and how it relates to the feeling of that moment, the time before the 'war.' The guy in the center, looking straight at me, I feel has such a look of dismay. He looks lost being wrapped up in this but at the same time is at the front line of the anarchists.
Thanks for looking,
Tim

Tim, it was great to see your coverage from the DNC-- especially in that we got a glimpse at a side of the event that wasn't staged. Nice work, and I can't wait to met you.
