The Google map for Washington DC with the traffic filter on is fascinating.
Possibly none, after this one!
Are you the cameraman on the C band feed of girl’s beach volleyball I was watching a few years ago?
Perhaps he’ll be lucky enough to capture the exact moment liberty dies.
I will do one reply because I am sitting here in front of the bleachers on Pennsylvania Avenue waiting for at the inauguration to take place.
I performed the identical work four years ago when President Obama was re-elected. It was a very joyous day for me.
As a professional my job is to document history and whatever takes place in front of me without influencing it in any way.
As a devout pacifis I have exactly zero tolerance for people advocating any form of violence related to this event.
My career affords me the unique opportunity to be very close to history-making events. My personal views on the matter have nothing to do with the job I am doing.
One way I have of dealing with my feelings about this particular event is to donate a large portion of what I’m being paid to the ACLU.
As I write this, The Oaths of officer being taken right now on the Capitol steps.
All I can do personally is pray that this is not the beginning of the decline of the Republic, but is instead just another chapter.

The guy had a close up of grains of sand on the seat of a young lady’s bathing suit and suddenly zoomed out and shot the girls standing around. I guess his director or producer looked at this guy’s monitor.
Thank you for your thoughtful post.
You’ve gotten to do it twice? No matter what anyones politics are that is pretty damn cool.
Are these pictures owned by you or were you paid by someone else and they own the pictures? If they’re owned by someone else then you can ignore the rest of this post.
Because if I owned history making photos I would make a book of them with descriptions and then make a billion dollars.
Also if you do own them would you be interested in making a thread with links to them so we can see? Unless you’re going to make a book and then I would suggest you do that instead and make your billions.
I remember the 9-11 thread you started. One “scene” from what you were describing, is really burned into my memory. It’s where ER’s were set up to deal with the hundreds or thousands of expected wounded, but the workers never did have all that much to do, because anyone who was in the towers when they fell wasn’t wounded, but dead.
Damn.
That pretty much kills any humorous comments from me.
I think you may have a slightly distorted idea of how much a journalist even with a great history of photos makes. 
(IIRC, he’s on the video/moving pictures side of things. I don’t know who he works for, but from the still photos side of things, typically jobs for wire services and news organizations were work-for-hire, so rights are owned by the employer, but it can vary. From what I’ve heard, it’s no better on the video side.)
I’m way late to the game, but I hope Cartooniverse did a great job.
Look… lots of people get married, right? Think of every person you have ever met or known in your life… make a small subset of the irredeemable assholes.
Now, draw an even smaller subset of those who are or were married.
Some photographer decided to be professional and shoot those wedding pictures, right?
Practice your craft, do work the way your integrity demands, cash your check.
Ignore the people protesting just like you would Bricker when he tries to hurt your career…
Cartooniverse would you share your impressions of the day? The crowds looked small from the clips I’ve seen, what was your observation? How obtrusive did the protests appear to you? Were the violent protests isolated or intrusive or both? Thank you for going out there and reporting on the event, and for your very thoughtful posts.
I’m very curious about the crowds as well, considering Trump has already started the ‘the MSM is lying about numbers, there were a million folks there!’ train.
