G-20 Madness


So G-20 has come and gone and it doesn't even feel like it happened. However, I do have the photos to prove it! For three days, I roamed the city and captured images from rallies and protests. There were times I and many other people had to run for our lives, but it was definitely worth it. My goal of either getting tear-gassed or arrested was not accomplished, but I suppose I will have to wait till next time. Here are just a few of thousands of images I took.

Woodstock Reunion

I haven't been on here in ages- I have to catch up with the photos I've taken over the summer and the beginning of the semester.

Me and my dad went to the Woodstock Reunion in August in Bethel, Ny- absolutely amazing!! Here are some photos I took!
