I learned one serious lesson while photographing this protest in L.A. - NEVER FORGET TO WEAR A HAT AGAIN.

No amount of sunscreen can protect you from this brutal Southern California sun.

Even though I have been in L.A. for less than a year, I have had my fair share of protest coverage this year.

This one was a bit different but well organized and well attended.

I'm a proud nerd, so the signage at this protest was right up my alley. Puns on top of puns on top of quirky jokes.

Once it was time to file, I thought I had that usual urge to keep shooting to get the frame I had been looking for all day. Not sure I ever really got it, but I ended the day happy with what I saw.

Thanks for looking!
