Last weekend I made it down to the Jacksonville Landing. There was a Tea Party event and I thought it might be a good place to work on photographing people and who knows, maybe I would get some good shots.
There were definitely a lot of people people their in all their patriotic gear. Their was a few people dressed up for re-enactments, or maybe just for the event. I got a shot of them talking and it looks so odd with the new sunglasses.
There were several people running for office around with tables and providing giveaways. Some had shirts, stickers, hats, flags, etc. I was really quite amazed at how much stuff there were giving away to people just for walking by, even if you didn’t seem interested in what they were talking about.
There was Jim Klauder who is running for congress. I had to take a shot of him holding his informative brochure because I thought the front was great. It actually looks like a government check and across the front it says “insufficient funds”. I always heard that there wouldn’t be social security anymore when I am finally old enough to collect, but I thought this was a neat idea to draw your attention and make someone stop and think.
