Late in 2000, I began to document political action through this website. It was on my trip to Washington D.C where I first met Doris. The trip was a near failure. My 0ld VW had died miles from the Bush Coronation, and I just made it in time to shoot pics of the Detroit ACLU picketing the Supreme Court Building. The weather was crappy, I was dead tired. My lenses were rain streaked, my strobes failed from moisture. I turned around and there she stood in full regalia, with her son at her side. I also photographed Doris at a rally in nearby Concord Massachusetts, where this photo for Utne originated.
"The greatest danger before
you is this:
You live in an age when
people would package
and standardize your life
for you
-steal it from you and
sell it back to you at a price.
That price is very high."
