From the vault. Taken January 2007.
While visiting my friend Evan in NYC I ran into a labor rally. The local 94 operating engineers union was staging an event. It all happened quite fast. I was walking around Columbus Circle when barricades and a ton of people came out of nowhere. This was one of the first instances where my professional camera got me access to certain places I wouldn’t have been able to be without it. I passed the police lines and got close to the events and people giving speeches right by the news cameras. Below is my favorite shot from that day.

The best pic at that rally was the one with the union leader wearing the hat and overcoat.
