Reflections on yesterday's protests in #London. 1/n
Background info:
I like photographing protests. It's a hobby and I have been doing it for over 10 years. Mainly in Bristol and London. My politics are left, but I try to suppress my bias when behind the lens - not always an easy thing to do.
I went to London specifically to photograph the protests. I arrived at about 10am and left at about 6. I spent most of my time amongst ‘Tommy' supporters - unusual for me as generally I walk amongst the ‘left’. Westminster Bridge, Whitehall, Trafalgar Square, The Strand, and Northumberland Avenue was my patch for the day - apart from when the rain came and I spent a nice half hour browsing in Waterstones.
The following reflections are my random thoughts about the day based on what I saw, my own personal bias, and what I have seen at recent protests.
