Prior to this summer it would have been one of my landscape shots but since the protests started here back in May I've had a lot of other things to shoot.

This is my favorite shot for a lot of reasons but the biggest one is because of how powerful this moment was. Police in riot gear had been following a demonstration down Main Street, threatening it with "Chemical weapons will be used if you do not disperse" and backed by military and police vehicles. Eventually things came to a halt, with police on one side of an intersection and protesters on the other, when this guy rode up on his bike playing Martin Luther King Jr's 'I Have A Dream' speech on the speaker hanging from it while cruising back and forth a foot or two in front of the police line. The contrast between the words coming out of the speaker and what the situation was there couldn't have been more stark and when he turned from the line to ride away I was able to snap this.
