I thought some of you might like to see RF pictures of the Nov. 2 General Strike (during the peaceful daytime).

And for good measure – Here's the big Nov. 15 noon rally of Occupy Berkeley:

And one portrait from Occupy San Francisco:

(But this one is a Rollei, not a RF, picture.)

PS, can you spot the RF photographer in Occupy Berkeley?

Thx Vic! Did anyone photograph the march to the Financial District on Wednesday?

This sort of 'activist photography' can get expensive,m ven if the police don't take your camera. After shooting the Berkeley series, I realized that in December's rather ugly cross-light, you need fill flash if you want to be an amateur PJ. Hadn't used flash in 30 years and have actively disliked it; but now own Leica unit that's larger than camera.
